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 population of Pasto barrio was 1,272.[4]

Florencio Santiago

Florencio Santiago, born in 1855, was from Pasto. He was a philanthropist who studied at Boston University and donated most of his patrimony, which was used for the building of many structures in Coamo, including the central plaza in Coamo barrio-pueblo.[5]
