History
The United States took control of Puerto Rico from Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Macaná barrio and Barrero barrio was 1,154.[6]

gollark: Case-by-case-basis handling is pretty problematic. In markets, you have the convenient answer of "whoever pays more".
gollark: Oh, and land value tax is a neat idea.
