Vieques Summary

Vieques is a small island municipality located off the east coast of Puerto Rico. It is part of the archipelago of the Spanish Virgin Islands and is the largest island in the group. Vieques is approximately 21 miles long and 4 miles wide, with a total area of about 34 square miles. It is located about 8 miles east of the main island of Puerto Rico and is separated from it by the Vieques Sound. The island is home to approximately 9,000 people, most of whom are of Puerto Rican descent.
Vieques has a long and varied history. It was first inhabited by the Taino Indians, who were the indigenous people of the Caribbean. The island was later colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century, and it remained under Spanish rule until 1898, when it was ceded to the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris.
