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 Quebradas barrio was 1,009.[6]

gollark: > To back up your profile, first close Firefox if it is open and then copy the profile folder to another location. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAno.
gollark: Apparently `.recover` is able to recover the database (mostly?) but this is not really ideal.
