The station was established in 1889 by the Spanish government. With the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, the lighthouse would become "the most important aid to navigation on the route from Europe to Panama".[2] In 1917, the U.S Congress provided funding for a new lighthouse in higher ground. But before construction began on the new structure, the original lighthouse was severely damaged by the 1918 earthquake that struck the west part of the island.[3] Construction on the new lighthouse was completed in 1922. The light is active aid to navigation and is a housing facility for the United States Coast Guard.[4] {{gallery|mode=packed|File:Old Punta de Boriquen.JPG|Original lighthouse, ca 1898 |File:Aguadilla Punta Borinquen Lighthouse Ruins.jpg|Lighthouse ruins }} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/maritime/light/ptborin.htm|title=Inventory of Historic Light Stations National Park Service|accessdate=2009-05-06}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1176|title=Lighthouses Friends|accessdate=2009-05-06}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/item/pr0037/?q=Puerto+Rico|title=Faro de Punta Borinquen|publisher=Historic American Engineering Record National Park Service|date=1979}} 4. ^{{cite uscghist|PR||accessdate=2009-05-06}} External links
