Toa Alta, Administrative district in San Juan metropolitan area, Puerto Rico
The municipality extends across nine barrios and a central administrative area, with Rio de la Plata flowing through its northern territories.
Founded in 1751, Toa Alta emerged as one of Puerto Rico's earliest settlements, with the San Fernando Rey Church construction beginning the following year.
The municipality maintains its reputation as La Cuna de los Poetas through literary contributions from writers like Abelardo Díaz Alfaro and musician Tomás Rivera.
Residents can access municipal services at the Town Hall building, located at P.O. Box 82, with administrative support available at +1 787-870-2100.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers implemented a substantial flood control project in 2018 to address Rio de la Plata overflow issues.
