Discover San Juan

The Taino were the original inhabitants before the Spanish reached Puerto Rico in 1493, and remains of a small fishing village have been found in Puerta de Tierra. The San Juan area lay on the boundary between the chiefdoms of Guaynabo and Haimanio, led by the caciques Mabo and Yuisa.

More about San Juan

In 1508 Juan Ponce de Leon founded the first settlement, Caparra, named for a Roman city in Caceres, Spain, birthplace of Governor Nicolas de Ovando. Its site is now in the Pueblo Viejo district of Guaynabo. A year later the settlement moved to a site called Puerto Rico, "rich port." The Catholic diocese founded there on August 8, 1511, is the second oldest in the Americas and the oldest in the United States, and in 1521 the town was formally named Ciudad de Puerto Rico de San Juan Bautista. Some of the oldest European institutions in the hemisphere, such as the Santo Tomas de Aquino convent and the Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion hospital, were founded there. Over time the names were reversed, and by 1746 the city's name, Puerto Rico, had become the name of the whole island. Rich cargoes made San Juan a target for Spain's rivals. Sir Francis Drake attacked in 1595, in the Battle of San Juan, and was driven off by the guns of El Morro. In 1598 George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, landed troops and besieged the city, but after a few months of occupation sickness among his men forced him to leave.
