Aguacate is a barrio in the municipality of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 1,525.[2] [3] [4]
Aguacate was in Spain's gazetteers[5] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Aguacate barrio and Arenales was 991.[6]
Aguacate has an elevation of 203 feet.
