History
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 population of San Francisco was 1,177.[2] In 2010, the population of San Francisco was 796.[1]
Saint Francis of Assisi Church
Parroquia San Francisco de Asis (Church of Saint Francis of Assisi) is located on San Francisco Street. This historic church gives its name to the subbarrio. Some famous Puerto Rican figures such as Impressionist painter Francisco Oller have been buried in its crypt.
