This list of barrios of Ponce consists of the 31 barrios in the municipality of Ponce, Puerto Rico. With 31 barrios, Ponce is Puerto Rico's municipality with the largest number of barrios.[1][2][3][4]

Meaning of "barrio"

Main article: Barrios of Puerto Rico

In Puerto Rico, the term barrio has two very different meanings. Officially, Ponce has 31 barrios; this is according to local, insular, and federal governments. However, there is a second meaning for barrio that does not correlate with the official meaning and one that is meant to refer, loosely, to a sector or portion of an official barrio. It is a meaning that makes reference to a community that shares certain common characteristics (types of homes, income range of its dwellers, its natural or human-made boundaries, etc.). Some examples of these so-called barrios are barrio Mameyes[5] (a sector of barrio Portugues Urbano), barrio Corral Viejo[6] (a community within Barrio Magueyes), barrio Clausells[7] (a portion of Barrio Segundo), barrio Tenerías[8] (part of Barrio Machuelo Abajo), and barrio Caracoles[9] (a community in Barrio Canas). These so-called barrios, unlike the 31 official barrios, do not have well defined borders, and their names ordinarily reference a general, not a precise, sector or area.[10]

Introduction to Ponce's 31 barrios

The territorial areas known as barrios started to take shape during the 18th century (1700s), and the first barrios named were Cana, Montones, Capitanejo, Quebrada Limón, and Bucana.[11] Throughout the 19th century, Ponce's jurisdictional zone increased to where it included both urban and rural barrios. With an expanding urban zone, in the 20th century Ponce's list of barrios came to number 31, with 13 located in the urban area of the city plus 18 outside the urban zone.[12][13][14] Of these 18, and as the urban area continues to expand, seven were considered suburban in 1999. These 7 suburban barrios were: Canas, Magueyes, Portugués, Machuelo Arriba, Sabanetas, Coto Laurel, and Cerrillos.[15] The remaining 11 are entirely rural barrios.[16] A 2000 report by the U.S. Census Bureau provides detailed demographics statistics for each of Ponce's barrios.[17]

From a demographics perspective, the 2000 Census showed that Montes Llanos is the least populated barrio in the municipality. Thanks to its larger area, barrio Canas was by far the most populated ward of the municipality.[18] At 68 persons per square mile, San Patricio was the least dense, while Cuarto was the most densely populated at 18,819 persons per square mile.[19][20]

Geographically speaking, Ponce has nine barrios that border neighboring municipalities. These are Anón, Canas, Capitanejo, Coto Laurel, Guaraguao, Marueño, Quebrada Limón, Real, San Patricio. Canas and Capitanejo are also coastal barrios, and together with three other coastal barrios (Playa, Bucaná, and Vayas) make up the municipality's five coastal barrios.[21]

There are also seven barrios within the city limits (Bucana, Canas Urbano, Machuelo Abajo, Magueyes Urbano, Playa, Portugués Urbano, and San Antón) that in addition to the original six city core barrios — named Primero, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto, Quinto, and Sexto — make up the 13 urban barrios of the municipality. The historic zone of the city is within these original six core city barrios. These twelve barrios compose what is known as the urban zone of the municipality.

The remaining eight barrios (Magueyes, Tibes, Montes Llanos, Maragüez, Portugués, Machuelo Arriba, Cerrillos, Sabanetas) are located in the interior of the municipality. These last eight are outside the city limits and are neither coastal nor bordering barrios.[22]

Original barrios in the urban zone

When barrios were first created around 1831,[31] the urban zone of the municipality of Ponce was divided into four barrios, centered at the intersection of Marina and Comercio streets (as it continues to be today). By 1878, barrio Quinto was added to the urban zone,[32] and by 1898 Cantera had been renamed as barrio Sexto to take its place among the urban barrios as well. (The port of La Playa, not the entire extension of barrio Playa, was also considered an urban zone in 1898.) These six original barrios that made up the urban zone of the municipality are detailed below.[33]
