Isabela, Municipality in northwestern Puerto Rico
Located in the northwestern region of Puerto Rico, Isabela extends across 13 barrios and includes both coastal areas and the Aymamón Mountains range.
The settlement received authorization from Governor Salvador Meléndez in 1818 to relocate closer to the coast, establishing a new town on May 21, 1819.
The municipality celebrates Fiestas Patronales de San Antonio de Padua each June with traditional parades, regional food specialties, and community entertainment.
The local economy incorporates agriculture with tropical fruit production, manufacturing facilities, and a commercial shopping center serving the metropolitan statistical area.
The northern coast of Isabela features multiple beaches including Playa Montones and Jobos Beach, which present conditions suitable for surfing throughout the year.
