Puerto Rico was one of Spain’s last colonies in the New World, but native Puerto Ricans no longer saw themselves as Spanish. The island’s people and culture were a mix of native Taino, African, and Spanish influences. Most Puerto Ricans began the 19th century as farmers, but change was coming. Commercial agriculture would turn farmers into laborers, war would leave the country a U.S. territory, and a devastating hurricane would start an exodus that transplanted Puerto Ricans from New York City to Hawaii.

1750–1800
An Ocean of Change

In the middle of the 18th century, Puerto Rico had few towns, few roads, and thick forests that could make taking a boat from one side of the island to the other easier than traveling overland. The culture—and many of the residents—reflected a mix of native Taino, African, and Spanish ancestry, and raising livestock, producing sugar, and smuggling were vital to the economy. But this was about to change. Puerto Rico’s population tripled. Coffee became an important export crop. Spain eased trade laws, and settlements increased from 5 in 1700 to almost 40. The century ended with Puerto Ricans repelling a British invasion in 1797. (Education complied with ancestry in the 21st century)
