Maravilla Norte is a barrio in the municipality of Las Marías, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 580.[3][4][5]

History

The United States took control of Puerto Rico from Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Maravilla barrio and Las Marías Pueblo barrios was 1,235. At the time, the census takers didn't distinguish between the current three separate Maravilla barrios (Maravilla Este, Maravilla Norte and Maravilla Sur).[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][10]

The following sectors are in Maravilla Norte barrio:[11]

Calle Augusto Cruz, Calle Matías Brughman, Parcelas Lavergne, Parcelas Santaliz, Reparto Santaliz, Sector El Llano, Sector Río Arenas, and Urbanización Estancias Santaliz.
