about Puerto Rico |

| Christopher
Columbus reached the island and claimed it for Spain
on November 19, 1493. He named it San Juan Bautista.
It became known as Puerto Rico after 1521, when
the city of San Juan had been founded and given
the island's original name. Spanish Conquest and
Settlement Puerto Rico was conquered for Spain in
1509 by Juan Ponce de Leon, who became the first
governor. The island was originally peopled by the
Borinqueno, an agricultural people who were enslaved
and largely exterminated as the result of harsh
treatment. As the Native Americans were decimated,
they were replaced by black African slaves who worked
the plantations and sugar mills. Privateers and
pirates harassed the island's residents during the
early colonial years. The Spanish constructed strong
fortifications and in 1595 defeated the English
navigators Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins
when they attempted to capture Puerto Rico; Hawkins
was mortally wounded. Raids, however, continued
for a long time. San Juan was burned during a Dutch
attack in 1625, and the English sacked Arecibo in
1702. Puerto Rico was opened to foreign trade in
1804, and in 1808 it was accorded representation
in the Spanish Parliament. Short-lived uprisings
against Spanish rule occurred a few times during
the 19th century (the most serious uprising, known
as El Grito de Lares, took place in 1868), but all
were quickly suppressed. Slavery was abolished in
1873. The island was granted autonomy in 1897. |

The great majority of Puerto Rico's inhabitants
are of Hispanic background; Spanish is the official
language of the commonwealth. About 80 percent of
the people are Roman Catholic. In 1990 approximately
71 percent of the island's inhabitants lived in
areas defined as urban, and the rest lived in rural
areas. The largest communities in Puerto Rico included
San Juan, the capital; Bayamon; Carolina; Ponce;
