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.
