Espino is a barrio in the municipality of Añasco, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 1407.[2] [3] [4]

History

Espino 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 Espino, Cidra and Carreras barrios was 1,281.[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]

The following sectors are in Espino barrio:[10]

Spanish; Castilian: [[Puerto Rico Highway 109|Carretera 109]], Parcelas de Josefa, Sector Solares Lorenzo Rivera, Sector Valle Hermoso, and Spanish; Castilian: Urbanización Alturas de Añasco.
