Espinar is a barrio in the municipality of Aguada, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 1,281.[3][4][5]
History
Espinar is located near the Culebrinas River and is named after a Franciscan priest who founded a convent there. In 1529, Espinar and other priests were assassinated by the indigenous Island Caribs. Their deaths resulted in a hermitage being built for honoring their martyrdom. Later on, Franciscan priests erected a new church over the ruins of the first and, to this day, religious services are held there.[6][7]
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 a territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Espinar and Carrizal barrios was 1,010.[8]
