Toa Baja

Toa Baja is a municipality on the northern coast of Puerto Rico, stretching between Dorado to the west and Cataño to the east. The territory borders Toa Alta and Bayamón to the south and consists of several neighborhoods with distinct local characteristics.

The municipality received official establishment in 1745, followed by the construction of the Nuestra Señora de la Concepción church in 1749. These early structures marked the beginning of organized governance and urban development in the area.

The municipality celebrates Fiestas Patronales de San Pedro Apostol in June and the Festival de la Zafra in October, with traditional celebrations shaping community life. These events bring people together and reflect the deep connection residents maintain with their heritage.

The area is divided into multiple neighborhoods, each with different postal codes including 00949, 00950, 00951, and 00952. Sabana Seca serves as one distinct neighborhood and is specifically designated by postal code 00952.

The territory is crossed by three major rivers: the Río de la Plata, Río Cocal, and Río Hondo. The Río de la Plata stands out as the longest river running across the entire island of Puerto Rico.
