“Although other nations tried to conquer Puerto Rico, Spain maintained its rule until the Spanish-American War.  Eventually, the island ceded to the United States in 1898.

Moreover, in 1917 its residents became American citizens. Moreover, the territory has its own constitution, since it became a commonwealth in 1952.”

Isle of Enchantment

A major element in Puerto Rico’s quarter design is a sentry box overlooking the sea.  Moreover, this box reminds us of Puerto Rico’s rich history, defensive strength, and strategic location in the Caribbean Sea.”
