History
Location of Aguada
Aguada was founded in 1510 with the name of Villa de Sotomayor by Cristóbal de Sotomayor, and by the mandate of Juan Ponce de León. Since then Aguada has been known as La Villa de Sotomayor.
The town is also known as the City of Discovery, because it is considered that Christopher Columbus arrived in Aguada when he first discovered Puerto Rico in November 1493. It is said that many of the first efforts to build a city on the island were made in Aguada.
Aguada became a stopover for ships traveling to Spain from South America. In 1737, the King of Spain decreed that all mail sent to Venezuela and other South American countries from Puerto Rico should leave the ports of Aguada, which led to economic growth in the area.
