History
Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the
Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris Location of Maguayo within the
of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United municipality of Dorado shown in red
States. In 1899, the United States Department of War
conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population
of Maguayo barrio was 764.[6]

In 2017, after Hurricane Maria destroyed infrastructure and Maguayo

disrupted electrical and water services, residents of Maguayo
were getting water from a well that is on the List of Superfund
sites (a site containing toxic substances) until officials from the
Environmental Protection Agency secured the location.[13]
