History
Taino inhabitants (indigenous peoples), had several settlements in the Aibonito area. Then the Spanish arrived and built homes and ranches. This land was developed into a town by 1824. The town Catholic church was built in 1825, which was replaced by a current church in 1887. The Spanish-American war of 1898 pitted both Spanish and Puerto Rican soldiers who were able to defeat the American troops. But Spain surrendered after a power struggle in Madrid. Hurricane Maria in 2017, set off numerous landslides and large amounts of rain within the area of Aivonito. As of 2010, the current population of Aibonita was listed as 25,900.
