History

Central Cortada, also known as the Cortada Sugarcane Refinery, was a sugarcane plantation and refinery located in Descalabrado. The area where the refinery is located had been used for the growth and processing of sugarcane since the 18th century.[6]

Descalabrado was in Spain's

Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Descalabrado and Boca Velázquez barrios was 1,083.[8]

In 1905, via an act of the US Congress, authorization was received to use water from the Descalabrado River to water the crops at the Central Cortada sugar plantation.[6]
