History

Tierras Nuevas Saliente 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 Tierras Nuevas Saliente barrio was 776.[6]

Features

Spanish; Castilian: Mar Chiquita Beach,[7] which is considered a dangerous beach, is located in Tierras Nuevas Saliente.[8]

Part of the Spanish; Castilian: [[Tortuguero Lagoon|Laguna Tortuguero]] is located in Tierras Nuevas Saliente. The eastern part of the lagoon is in Vega Baja, which borders Manatí.[9]

Sectors

Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[10] 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.[11] [12] [13]
