The municipality covers 55 square miles of territory, including 45 miles of land and 10 miles of water along the Atlantic coastline.

Spanish settlers established the first official community in 1722, following earlier inhabitation by Taino people led by Cacique Jumacao.

The Fiestas Patronales Inmaculada Concepcion de Maria in December features traditional music performances, local food, and artisanal crafts.
