Arecibo history - learn what once happend
Arecibo is known as "La Ribera del Arecibo" (the shore of the Arecibo) or "El Diamante Del Norte" (the north diamond). Settled in 1556, Arecibo became the third Spanish settlement. Founded sixty years later, in 1616, when the King of Spain granted that section of land and the Indians on it to Lope Conchillos, under the governorship of Captain Felipe de Beaumont y Navarra. The leader (Indian chief) of these Indians was called Jamaica Aracibo, their yucayeque was named after him and ultimately the town was called by that same name. Arecibo is also known as "La Villa del Capitan Correa" in memory of a battle fought successfully on its shores by Captain Antonio Correa and a handful of soldiers to repel a British invasion by sea lead by Englishmen Admiral Whelstone in August 5, 1702.
