The central plaza and its church
As was customary in Spain, in Puerto Rico, the municipality has a barrio which contains a central plaza, the municipal buildings (city hall), and a Catholic church. Fiestas patronales (patron saint festivals) are held in the central plaza every year.[9][10]
The central plaza, or square, is a place for official and unofficial recreational events and a place where people can gather and socialize from dusk to dawn. The Laws of the Indies, Spanish law, which regulated life in Puerto Rico in the early 19th century, stated the plaza's purpose was for "the parties" (celebrations, festivities) (Template:Langx), and that the square should be proportionally large enough for the number of neighbors (Template:Langx). These Spanish regulations also stated that the streets nearby should be comfortable portals for passersby, protecting them from the elements: sun and rain.[9]
Located across the central plaza in Isabel II barrio-pueblo is the Script error: No such module "Lang"., a Roman Catholic church, which was first built in 1844.[11]
History
Isabel II was in Spain's gazetteers[12] until 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 combined population of Pueblo and Florida barrios was 2,646.[13]
In July 2020, Federal Emergency Management Agency appropriated funds for repairs to Vieques' plaza.[14]
Sectors
Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[15] in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.[16][17][18]
The following sectors are in Isabel II barrio-pueblo:[19]
