Bartolo is a barrio in the municipality of Lares, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 2,035.[2] [3] [4] Bartolo is on the southeastern border of Lares and Adjuntas.

History

Bartolo 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 population of Bartolo barrio was 2,035.[6]

Sectors

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

The following sectors are in Bartolo barrio:[11]

Spanish; Castilian: Calle Cirila, Calle Cooperativismo, Calle Los Millonarios, Calle Paraíso, Carretera Los Romero, Carretera Vilella, Cerro Las Avispas, Condominio Alturas de Castañer, Poblado Castañer, Sector Calbache, Sector Grillasca, Sector Guano, Sector La Cuesta, Sector Rábanos, Sector Regino, Sector San Juan Bautista, Tramo [[Puerto Rico Highway 128|Carretera 128]], Tramo [[Puerto Rico Highway 135|Carretera 135]], andSpanish; Castilian: Tramo Carretera 431.

Jíbaros Mutual Support Center

The Spanish; Castilian: Manuel Rojas Luzardo, a school that was built in 1922 was closed in 2015 by the Puerto Rico Department of Education. A group of residents, who farm the land (jíbaros), rehabilitated the school and put it to use, after they were left homeless when their homes were destroyed by Hurricane Maria in September 2017. The group received support from a number of businesses including a donation of solar panels. With their work, the once abandoned school is now called the Jíbaros Mutual Support Center (Spanish; Castilian: Centro de Apoyo Mutuo Jíbaro), and the classrooms serve as residences to eleven families (to families with a woman head of household and the elderly). There are micro-businesses, including a theater, operating from the location. Members of the local Presbyterian church who spearheaded the grassroots movement for Bartolo are pursuing official ownership of the property.[12] [13] Similar Mutual Support Centers have popped up around the island.[14] [15]
