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 Negros barrio was 818.[6]

Sectors

Barrios (which are like minor civil divisions)[7] in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.[8][9][10]

The following sectors are in Negros barrio:[11]

Sector Acueducto, Sector África, Sector Carretera (from Amado Suárez to Iglesia Católica), Sector La Hacienda, Sector La Planá, Sector Lorencito Frau, Sector Los Gatos, Sector Los Pérez, Sector Los Quiñones, Sector Parcelas, Sector Pepín García, and Urbanización Los Hermanos.

gollark: No. Via confusing relativity things, light still goes at the same speed relative to you on the ship. You could happily walk around even closer to light speed, and to outside observers you'd just seem to get closer to light speed but never actually reach it. Something like that.
gollark: Anyway, this doesn't seem to... explain anything usefully? It seems like a retroactive justification for *why* stuff is the way it is, but in a way which doesn't seem amenable to making useful predictions, and is also extremely vague.
gollark: Also, screenshots exist. Please use them.
gollark: Never mind, I found the "cosmicwatch" thing online.
