Arroyo is spread over 5 wards and Arroyo Pueblo (the downtown area and administrative center). It is part of the Guayama Metropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryThe town of Arroyo was officially founded on December 25, 1855. However, it is believed{{by whom|date=August 2014}} that there were previous settlements on the area even previous to the Spanish colonization. It is believed that the name of Arroyo (which means "creek" in English) is derived from a small water stream where travelers stopped to freshen up before continuing on their way.[1] It has been{{by whom|date=August 2014}} said that the town came to be formed when a small group of people from the neighbor town of Guayama came to the region looking for a port to export and import merchandise. Still, a local newspaper called La Gaceta de Puerto Rico published in 1868 that Arroyo was founded in 1852. Between 1859 and 1860, City Hall signed agreements to open streets and build a town square and a sewer system for the town. In 1858, Samuel Morse introduced wired communication to Latin America when he established a telegraph system in Puerto Rico, then a Spanish Colony. Morse's oldest daughter Susan Walker Morse (1821–1885), would often visit her uncle Charles Pickering Walker who owned the Hacienda Concordia in the town of Guayama. During one of her visits she met and later married Edward Lind, a Danish merchant who worked in the Hacienda La Henriqueta in Arroyo.[2] Lind purchased the Hacienda from his sister when she became a widow. Morse, who often spent his winters at the Hacienda with his daughter and son-in-law, set a two-mile telegraph line connecting his son-in-law's Hacienda to their house in Arroyo. The line was inaugurated on March 1, 1859 in a ceremony flanked by the Spanish and American flags.[3][4] The first lines transmitted by Samuel Morse that day in Puerto Rico were:[2] "Puerto Rico, beautiful jewel! When you are linked with the other jewels of the Antilles in the necklace of the world's telegraph, yours will not shine less brilliantly in the crown of your Queen!" When after the Treaty of Paris (1898), the U.S. conducted its first census of Puerto Rico, the population of Arroyo was 4,867.[5] In 1902, Puerto Rico's Legislative Assembly approved a law to consolidate certain municipalities. According to it, Arroyo would be merged with Guayama starting in July 1 of that year. However, the law was revoked in 1905 returning Arroyo to its municipal status. In early 1999 the U.S. the Congressional record documented a commendation of Arroyo, on its 100-year relationship with the U.S., noting that many citizens of Arroyo have fought and died in wars for the U.S., such as Virgilio Sanchez and Raul Serrano.[6] GeographyArroyo belongs to the alluvial plains sub-region of Ponce-Patillas known as the Southern Coastal Valley. The area is very dry although its plains are productive thanks to artificial irrigation.[7] Hurricane MariaHurricane Maria on September 20, 2017 triggered numerous landslides in Arroyo with the significant amount of rain that fell.[8][9] BarriosLike all municipalities of Puerto Rico, Arroyo is subdivided into barrios.[10][11][12]
Water featuresThe Nigua River crosses the municipality from north to south. Its hidrographic system is completed by a series of smaller rivers. There is also a mineral water spring in the Virella Colony.[7] TourismLandmarks and places of interestAmong the places of interest in Arroyo are the Enrique Huyke Monument, dedicated to the educator and athlete, and the Samuel Morse Monument, dedicated to the American inventor of the telegraph.[16] Other landmarks are La Cora Hacienda, Las Palmas Beach,[14] Punta Guilarte,[15] Punta de Las Figuras Lighthouse and the Arroyo Sugar Cane Train.[16] CultureFestivals and eventsThe people of Arroyo celebrate a wide variety of festivals during the year. For example, a traditional carnaval is held during the month of February. Also, the "Fiesta Negra", which celebrates the African heritage of the island, is held during March. The Fiestas patronales for Our Lady of Mount Carmel is held in July and the "Festival del Pescao" is celebrated in November.[17] SportsAlthough Arroyo doesn't have a professional sports team, it has several amateur teams in Class A category{{citation needed|date=August 2014}}. EconomyDuring past centuries, Arroyo was known for the production of sugar in the Laffayette Sugar mill.[7][18] In recent years, manufacture and pharmaceutical industries have taken control of the economy of Arroyo. Stryker Corporation, a developer of medical implants and other surgical equipment, has a production plant in the town. Government{{main| Mayoralty in Puerto Rico}}Since its foundation, Arroyo's municipal government has been led by a mayor, with its first mayor being Marcelino Cintrón. Amongst the must successful majors is Reinaldo Pirela Figueroa. Under his administration, Arroyo became the most progressive municipality in Puerto Rico. The current mayor is Eric Bachier Román. The city also has a municipal legislature that handles local legislative matters.[17] The city belongs to the Puerto Rico Senatorial district VI, which is represented by two Senators. In 2012, Miguel Pereira Castillo and Angel Rodríguez Otero were elected as District Senators.[19] SymbolsArroyo's flag has two horizontal bands of equal size. The upper band is color orange, while the lower one is black. In the middle of the flag lies Arroyo's coat of arms.[1] The coat of arms is also split in two sections. The upper section features a church in a blue field a church with a rosary to the right and a flower to the left. The lower section features two silver telegraph poles on green hills. At the bottom, waving stripes of blue and silver, with a fish below them. Above the shield, lies a crown of three towers filled in with purple. Below there's a banner with the motto, Arroyo Pueblo Grato.[1] EducationEducation is handled by the Puerto Rico Department of Education. Arroyo has seven elementary schools, three junior high schools, and one high school. TransportationDuring the peak of the sugarcane industry in the island, Arroyo was part of the railroad system of the island, with trains hauling production to other municipalities in the island. A small portion of that train remained in use until recently for tourism purposes, under the name of Tren del Sur. To reach Arroyo, visitors have to take the Puerto Rico Highway 3. However, there are other rural roads available to reach the municipality. There are 13 bridges in Arroyo.[20] Notable people{{See also|Category:People from Arroyo, Puerto Rico}}
