Washington, D. C., June 11, 1901.

SiR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a 

bulletin, a gazetteer of Porto Rico. The place names here given are 

derived mainly from the report of the recent census of the island and 

from the War Department map, on the scale of 1:150,000.

It is my belief that the publication of this bulletin will go far toward 

preventing conflicts in the spelling of these place names. 

Very respectfully,

HENRY GANNETT,

A GAZETTEER OF PORTO RICO.

By HENEY GANNETT.

INTRODUCTION.

Porto Rico is the fourth in size of the West Indian Islands, being 

exceeded by Cuba, Haiti, and Jamaica. Its area, as measured from 

the best map available that issued in 1899 by the War Department, 

on a scale of 1:150,000 is 3,600 square miles. There is, however, 

much uncertainty concerning the accuracy of these figures, as the 

coast line of the island has never been carefully surveyed. It lies 

east of Haiti, between latitudes 17° 50' and 18° 30' N., and between 

longitudes 65° 30' and 67° 15' W.

Under-the jurisdiction of Porto Rico, as a colony of Spain and subsequently as a dependency of the United States, are included, besides 

the island of Porto Rico, the small islands Vieques and Culebra to 

the east and Mona to the west, as well as a number of islets adjacent 

to the coast.

The Indian name of the island was Borinquen. The name Porto 

Rico is a corruption of the proper name Puerto Rico, and is the form 

which has been in common use for centuries among English-speaking 

nations; the form Puerto Rico (rich harbor) being that in use by the 

residents of the island, by all Spanish-speaking peoples, and generally 

by other nations. The United States Board on Geographic Names, 

pursuing its principle of following local usage, adopted this form 

several years ago. Since the acquisition of the island by the United 

States, usage, even in the publications of the United States Government, became divided, some of them following the above decision, 

others using the form Porto Rico. In this condition of affairs, the 

Board appealed to the President of the United States for a decision, 

and the President decided in favor of Puerto Rico. Subsequently, 

however, in the Foraker bill for the government of Porto Rico, a 

clause was incorporated providing that the name be Porto Rico. This 

bill, agreed to by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President, became law, and thus established the spelling of the name.

Porto Rico is roughly rectangular in shape, with a length from east

to west of about 100 miles and a breadth of about 35 miles. Its coast 

line is simple, with few good harbors, that of San Juan, the capital, 

on the north coast, being the best. The island is traversed through its 

length by a range of hills, which, starting at the northwest corner, 

swings in a broad curve southeast, then east, and finally northeast to 

the northeast corner. This range forms the main watershed of the 

island, and throughout most of its extent lies south of the middle of 

the island, giving longer courses, gentler slopes, and greater drainage 

basins to the northward-flowing streams, those flowing south having 

steep descents and short courses. These hills range in height from 

2,000 feet in the gaps to 3,800 feet on the highest summits, the most elevated point in the island being El Yunque, at the northeast extremity 

of the range. These hills have considerable breadth, and within them 

the streams have cut deep valleys, giving to most of the island a steep, 

hilly surface. The coasts are in most parts bordered by broad extents 

of low, level lands.

None of the streams are navigable except for a mile or two near 

their mouths, where they are, in effect, estuaries.

Most of the area of Porto Rico has for centuries been divided into 

farms, and more than one-fifth of the island is under cultivation; 

hence the forested areas are few and small and of little importance. 

Timber is very scarce and most of that used in building is imported.

Lying within the Tropics, Porto Rico is within the region of the 

northeast trade winds. The annual temperature at San Juan, on the 

north coast, ranges from 78° to 82°. The range of monthly temperature is from 75° in January to 82° in August, while the maximum 

temperature on record is 99° and the minimum is 57°, indicating a 

very uniform climate. On the hills of the interior the temperature is, 

of course, lower. The annual rainfall at San Juan is 60 inches, and

on the northeast coast is greater, reaching 100 inches, while in the

southern part of the island it is much less, so much so that in some 

localities irrigation is necessary for the cultivation of crops.

Porto Rico is divided, for governmental purposes, into 7 departments and 69 municipal districts or terminos municipales. These in 

turn are subdivided into barrios.

Discovered by Columbus in 1493 and visited frequently in succeeding years, the island was not colonized by the Spaniards until 1509, when 

San Juan, at first called Caprera and later Puerto Rico, was founded 

and possession was taken of the entire island. In 1597 it was captured 

by the English, who, however, soon withdrew, and from that time 

until possession was taken by this country in 1898 Spain has held the 

island, although several attempts have been made upon it by the 

forces of various countries. During all this period Porto Rico has 

been free from internal dissensions, such as have repeatedly wasted 

the neighboring island of Cuba.

The population of Porto Rico in 1899 was little short of a million 

953,243. The following table gives the population at various periods:

The density of population, or the number of inhabitants to a square 

mile, was in 1899, 264. The island is very thickly populated, especially 

when one considers that nearly all the population is rural. Few of 

the States of this country are as densely populated.

The following table gives the area, population, and density, by 

departments, in 1899.

The urban population forms but a small element, there being but 

four cities of more than 8,000 inhabitants each San Juan, the capital, with 32,048; Ponce, on the south coast, 27,952; Mayaguez, on the 

west coast, 15,187, and Arecibo, 8,008. These cities had a combined 

population of 83,195, or only 8.7 per cent of the total population.

In respect to sex, females outnumbered males by 8,721 only, the 

proportions being 49.5 per cent males and 50.5 per cent females.

As to race, there were 589,426 whites and 363,817 colored, or 61.8 

per cent white and 38.2 per cent colored. These proportions have 

differed greatly at different times in the past, the colored having in 

early days been in the majority, as may be seen by the followingtable.

The colored are more numerous proportionally in the eastern than 

in the western part of the island, and more numerous near the seacoast than in the interior.

At the time of its discovery the island was well populated by Indians, 

who were promptly subjugated and enslaved by the Spaniards. Harsh 

treatment, labor, and disease rapidly reduced their-numbers, so that 

by 1543 they were practically exterminated, and at the present time 

no trace of Indian blood is to be found in the island.

With the diminution in number of Indian slaves negro slaves began 

to be introduced, and throughout the eighteenth century and threefourths of the nineteenth the slave trade was actively prosecuted, and 

ceased only about 1873, in which year negro slavery was abolished.

The number of foreign born was 13,872, or only 1.5 per cent of the 

population. More than half of these were of Spanish birth, and 43 per 

cent of them were found in the three largest cities.

As to conjugal condition, 69.7 per cent of the people were single; 

16.6 per cent were married; 8.8 per cent were living together by mutual 

consent, having waived, mainly on account of its expense, the ceremony of marriage, and 4.9 per cent were widowed. The proportion 

of the single was very large, and that of the married, even if those
GANNETT.] A GAZETTEER OF POftTO RtCO. 11

living together by mutual consent be included, was very small. In 

part this may be accounted for by the fact, established by the census, 

that the proportion of children was very large and that of adults correspondingly small. There are few aged persons in the island.

Of the total population, only 16.6 per cent, or one-sixth, were able 

to read. The proportion was much greater in the large cities than in 

the rural districts, and was much larger among the whites than the 

colored.

The persons engaged in gainful occupations were 33.1 per cent of 

the total population, a proportion somewhat smaller than in the United 

States. This may probably be accounted for by the greater proportion of children in Porto Rico. Of the males, 56.9 per cent were 

breadwinners; of the females, only 9.9 per cent. Classifying the 

breadwinners by groups of occupations, it appears that 62.8 per cent 

of them were engaged in agriculture, 20.5 per cent in personal and 

domestic service, 8.4 per cent in manufactures, 7.6 per cent in trade 

and transportation, and 0.7 per cent in the professions. The leading 

occupation, in which more than two-thirds of the breadwinners were 

engaged, was that of labor.

Of the entire area of Porto Rico, 3,606 square miles, including the 

adjacent islands, 2,743 square miles were, in 1899, included within 

farms. This is 76 per cent of the area. The land under cultivation 

was 747 square miles, or 21 per cent of the total area, a proportion 

larger than that cultivated in the United States, and yet a small proportion when one considers the density of the population and the fact 

that it is almost entirely rural. There were 39,021 farms, with an 

average area of only 45 acres and an average cultivated area of but 

12 acres. In the United States the average area under cultivation 

per farm in 1890 was 78 acres. Ownership of farms was almost universal, not less than 93 per cent of the farms and 91 per cent of the 

farm area being owned by their occupants. The farms owned by 

whites were, as a rule, larger than those owned by the colored.

The leading farm product of Porto Rico is coffee, which was planted 

upon not less than 41 per cent of the total cultivated area. While 

coffee was produced in all parts of the island, its culture is more general in the hilly central and western parts. Sugar cane holds second 

rank as a product, occupying 15 per cent of the cultivated lands, its 

area of cultivation being mainly the coast lands all around the island. 

Bananas occupied 14 per cent of the cultivated land; sweet potatoes, 

8 per cent; indian corn, 4 per cent; rice, 2 per cent; cocoanuts, 2 per 

cent, and tobacco only 1 per cent of the cultivated land.

Manufactures are few and of trifling importance. No mining of 

any kind is at present carried on in the island, although in times past 

valuable gold placers were worked by the Spaniards. It is by no 

means improbable that thorough prospecting may develop valuable 

mineral resources hitherto unsuspected.
12 A GAZETTEEE OF POETO EICO. [BULL. 183.

Means of internal communication are very scanty. There are altogether 159 miles of railroad in the island, but they are in disconnected 

pieces and closely parallel the coast, none extending into the interior. 

There is one good wagon road extending across the island from San 

Juan to Cayey and thence to Ponce, with a branch rrom Cayey to 

Guayama, and short roads :in other directions, the total length of good 

roads in the island being about 285 miles. These were built by the 

Spanish authorities for military purposes. Aside from these, the 

so-called roads of the island are mere trails, few of them passable for 

wheeled vehicles at any time, and commonly only for saddle animals 

or foot travel.

As a result of this condition, internal trade is very small in volume 

and is confined mainly to the coast line. Indeed, there are few civilized communities whose individuals are so nearly isolated and have 

so little intercommunication as this.

In 1897 the total assessed value of property was $28,867,928, and 

the true value was estimated to be $150,000,000, or about $170 per capita 

of the population. The average per capita wealth of the people of the 

United States is estimated to be in excess of $1,000, a comparison 

which speaks volumes concerning the poverty of the people of Porto 

Rico. The mortgage indebtedness of the people in 1897 was not less 

than $18,610,000.

In 1899 the facilities for education consisted, in the main, of public 

schools. Of 467 schools 412 were maintained at public expense, the 

remainder being private schools. All the schools had a seating 

capacity of but 29,164. The number of teachers was 623, and the 

number of pupils in attendance was 27,018. The number of children 

attending school was but a small part of those of school age. The 

prevailing religion is, of course, the Catholic, with which church practically all the population are connected.
