It is bordered past the Cagüitas River to the n and located two miles southwest of the Grande de Loiza River. Its population in 2010 was 22,406.[1] [4] [5] [6]

As was customary in Espana, in Puerto Rico, the municipality has a barrio chosen pueblo (barrio-pueblo starting with the 1990 U.s. Census) which contains a central plaza or primary boondocks square, the municipal buildings (such as the city hall), and a Catholic church. Fiestas patronales (patron saint festivals) are held in the main town square every yr.[seven] [8] The municipal and mayoral offices were located in the City Hall building at the western border of the main boondocks square until 2010 when a new City Hall edifice located in the northwestern side of the downtown area was inaugurated.

Geography [edit]

Caguas Pueblo (Spanish: Pueblo de Caguas), officially designated equally Caguas Barrio-pueblo and popularly referred to as Downtown Caguas in English, is located in the center plains of the Caguas Valley. It is bordered by the Cagüitas River to the n, the Loíza River to the e and the Turabo River to the due south.[9]

History [edit]

The expanse where downtown Caguas is located today was originally inhabited by the Taíno people. This area of the valley was ideal for the cultivation of crops, such as cassava, due to the fertile river-fed soil. At the fourth dimension of the Spanish colonization the local tribes were led by the cacique Caguax, from whom the Spanish settlement of San Sebastián del Piñal de Caguax got its name. This hamlet was granted town privileges in 1812 and its outset city hall was built in 1820 when it received the title of Villa y cabeza de distrito de Provincia de España ("Villa and District headquarters of a Castilian province"). The village was finally granted total urban center rights in 1894.[x]

Puerto Rico was ceded past Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American State of war under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the U.s.. In 1899, the United states Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Caguas Pueblo was 5,450.[11] The surface area was heavily damaged by San Felipe Segundo (also known as the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane) in 1928 and many historical buildings were demolished so, which is why many of the older buildings, such as the cathedral, date from the 1930s later many rebuilding projects in the downtown took place.[ix]

The central plaza and its church [edit]

The primary town square of Caguas is named Plaza de Recreo Santiago R. Palmer . This is i of the largest main town squares or plazas in Puerto Rico. The central plaza or square, is a public space that is ofttimes used for official and unofficial recreational events and is a place where people can gather and socialize from dusk to dawn. The Laws of the Indies, Spanish constabulary, which regulated life in Puerto Rico in the early 19th century, stated the plaza'southward purpose was for "the parties" (celebrations, festivities) (Spanish: a propósito para las fiestas), and that the square should be proportionally large plenty for the number of neighbors (Spanish: grandeza proporcionada al número de vecinos). These Spanish regulations besides stated that the streets nearby should be comfy portals for passersby, protecting them from the elements: sun and pelting.[7]

Located across from the central plaza in Caguas barrio-pueblo is the Catedral Dulce Nombre de Jesús which serves equally the regional Catholic cathedral. A hermitage was built in 1626 and by 1775 it had been renamed to its current name. In 1830 the structure of a church building fabricated of masonry began. The church was used until 1928 when it was damaged past San Felipe Segundo hurricane. Having sustained also much damage, it was demolished and reconstructed starting in 1936 based on an architectural design by Pedro Méndez and Joseph O'Kelly. The church was restored in 1999. In 1964 the church became a cathedral.[12]
