About Mayagüez
Founded 18 September 1760 by Faustino Martínez de Matos, Juan de Silva and Juan de Aponte. 73,077 people at the 2020 census, and the principal city of the west coast.
It is La Sultana del Oeste, La Ciudad de las Aguas Puras and El Pueblo del Mangó.
From 1962 to 1998 the canneries here packed 80% of all tuna products consumed in the United States, and the city produced a quarter of the U.S. Army's drill uniforms. When that went, the university held. The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez is the leading engineering school in the Caribbean and the town is built around it.
Eugenio María de Hostos — educator, philosopher, one of the great minds of the nineteenth-century Caribbean — was born here in 1839. Plaza Colón anchors the centre; Mayagüez hosted the Central American and Caribbean Games in 2010.
