Spanish colonists founded the town in 1816 as Trujillo Bajo, "lower Trujillo," alongside its counterpart Trujillo Alto, both named for Trujillo in Spain. In 1857 it was renamed San Fernando de la Carolina, later shortened to Carolina. In the late 1800s sugarcane was its main export, and the town was nicknamed El Pueblo de los Tumba Brazos, "the town of the arm hackers."
Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the United States under the Treaty of Paris of 1898, after the Spanish-American War, and the War Department's census of 1899 counted 11,965 people in Carolina. The city calls itself Tierra de Gigantes, "Land of Giants," for Don Felipe Birriel Gonzalez, a resident who stood 7 feet 11 inches tall, and for other notable natives, among them the poet Julia de Burgos and Roberto Clemente, the first Latin American player elected to baseball's Hall of Fame. Carolina was also home to Jesus T. Pinero, the first Puerto Rican appointed governor by the United States. Hurricane Maria struck on September 20, 2017, and floods on the Rio Grande de Loiza left about 500 homes unlivable. The Roberto Clemente stadium lost its roof, and damage to buildings, bridges and roads reached $87 million. Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, which lies in Carolina, was closed for three days.
