Caguabo is a barrio in the municipality of Añasco, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 847.[2] [3] [4]
Caguabo 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 Caguabo and Playa barrios was 1,156.[6]
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]
The following sectors are in Caguabo barrio:[10]
Spanish; Castilian: Condominio Playa Almirante, Sector La Ferrer, Sector La Tosca, and Spanish; Castilian: Sector Las Curvas de Rincón.
There is a three-story tower called Spanish; Castilian: El Mirador de la Bahía located in Caguabo, Añasco which overlooks the Mona Passage.[11]
