Puerto Rico Summary

Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the Caribbean Sea. It is the easternmost and smallest of the Greater Antilles, and is composed of the main island of Puerto Rico and several smaller islands. The island has a rich history, diverse geography, vibrant economy, and unique demographics.

History

Puerto Rico has a long and varied history, beginning with its first inhabitants, the Taíno people, who arrived on the island around 1000 AD. The Taíno were a peaceful people who lived in small villages and practiced agriculture. They were eventually conquered by the Spanish in the late 15th century, and the island became a Spanish colony. During the colonial period, the island was used as a base for Spanish exploration and conquest of the Americas.

In 1898, Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War. The island became an unincorporated territory of the United States, and its citizens were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917. In 1952, Puerto Rico became a self-governing commonwealth of the United States.

Geography

Puerto Rico is located in the Caribbean Sea, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands. The main island of Puerto Rico is approximately 100 miles long and 35 miles wide, and is surrounded by smaller islands, including Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The island is mostly mountainous, with the highest peak, Cerro de Punta, reaching 4,390 feet. The climate is tropical, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to the mid-80s year-round.

Economy

Puerto Rico has a vibrant economy, with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $103.3 billion in 2019. The economy is largely driven by tourism, manufacturing, and services. The island is home to several large pharmaceutical companies, including Johnson & Johnson and Merck, and is a major producer of rum and other alcoholic beverages. The government of Puerto Rico also provides incentives for businesses to invest in the island, including tax breaks and other incentives.

Demographics

Puerto Rico has a population of 3.2 million people, making it the second-most populous territory in the United States. The population is largely of Spanish and African descent, with smaller numbers of other ethnicities, including Native American, Asian, and European. The official language is Spanish, although English is also widely spoken. The majority of the population is Roman Catholic, with smaller numbers of other religious groups, including Protestantism and Judaism.
