Borinquen is a barrio in the municipality of Caguas, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2020 was 7,251.[3][4] The barrio is named after the indigenous Taíno name for Puerto Rico, "Borinquen," which highlights the area's historical significance.[5]

History and demographics

Borinquen was in Spain's gazetteers[6] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Borinquen barrio and Bairoa barrio was 3,870.[7]
