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 population of Limón barrio was 870.[6]

gollark: It's some old system-rescue-CD thing.
gollark: Also, I have vital* data in the form of my Discord bot's database and website comments, and at least two people would be mildly irritated at the loss of those.
gollark: My journal is stored electronically, and I do somewhat want that, and it would be annoying if I lost my large media libraries.
gollark: I store a bunch of data on a ~10-year-old 7.2krpm HDD and the last backups are from August or so, fun™.
gollark: SSDs are still about 4x the price/GB.
