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 population of Hato Arriba barrio was 663.[5]

PR-111 and PR-119

On September 20, 2017 a section of PR-111 in Hato Arriba "almost disappeared completed" according to witnesses of the effects of Hurricane Maria.[6] In late May 2019, a lane of PR-119, a principal road in Hato Arriba, collapsed due to heavy rain. This highway had experienced a visible depression with Hurricane Maria in 2017 and was on a project waiting list when it collapsed further.[7][8]
