Central Aguirre Historic District
Central Aguirre Historic District, Former sugar mill district in Salinas, Puerto Rico
The Central Aguirre Historic District spans 326 acres with 317 buildings, including administrative structures, factories, warehouses, and residential areas divided into two distinct zones.
After the Spanish-American War in 1898, Ford & Company transformed the existing sugar mill into a large industrial complex, making it Puerto Rico's second-largest sugar production facility.
The district's architecture displays the social division of the era through separate residential areas: refined wooden cottages for American administrators and basic houses for Puerto Rican workers.
Visitors can access the historic district via Road PR-705, though many structures show signs of deterioration and require careful observation from a safe distance.
The district features a complete early 20th-century industrial town layout with its own wharf, railroad system, hospital, theater, golf course, and social facilities.
