'''San Juan''' ({{IPA2|saŋ hwaŋ}}) (from the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] ''San Juan Bautista'', "[[Saint John the Baptist]]") is the [[capital]] and largest [[Municipalities of Puerto Rico|municipality]] in [[Puerto Rico]]. As of the [[United States Census Bureau|2000 census]], it has a population of 433,733, making it the [[List of United States cities by population|42nd-largest]] city under the jurisdiction of the [[United States]]. San Juan was founded by [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] colonists in 1521, who called it ''Ciudad de Puerto Rico'' ("Puerto Rico City"). Puerto Rico's capital is the second oldest European-established city in the Americas, after [[Santo Domingo]], now in the [[Dominican Republic]].<ref name="SJCOPRI">{{cite web| author=Magaly Rivera| title=San Juan Capital City|url=http://welcome.topuertorico.org/city/sanjuan.shtml| publisher=Welcome to Puerto Rico| accessdate=2007-05-02}}</ref> Several historical buildings are located in San Juan; among the most notable are the city's former defensive forts, Fort San Felipe del Morro and Fort San Cristobál, and [[La Fortaleza]], the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the Americas.
Today, San Juan serves as one of [[San Juan Port|Puerto Rico's most important seaport]]s,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://apprportal.prpa.gobierno.pr/servlet/page?_pageid=70&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&_type=site&_fsiteid=54&_fid=3640&_fnavbarid=1&_fnavbarsiteid=54&_fedit=0&_fmode=2&_fdisplaymode=1&_fcalledfrom=1&_fdisplayurl= | publisher=Puerto Rico Port Authority |title=the San Juan Port |language=Spanish | date=2007| accessdate=2007-05-09}}</ref> and is the island's manufacturing, financial, cultural, and [[Tourism in Puerto Rico|tourism center]]. The population of the metropolitan area, including San Juan and the municipalities of [[Bayamon, Puerto Rico|Bayamón]], [[Guaynabo, Puerto Rico|Guaynabo]], [[Cataño, Puerto Rico|Cataño]], [[Canovanas, Puerto Rico|Canóvanas]], [[Caguas, Puerto Rico|Caguas]], [[Toa Alta, Puerto Rico|Toa Alta]], [[Toa Baja, Puerto Rico|Toa Baja]], [[Carolina, Puerto Rico|Carolina]] and [[Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico|Trujillo Alto]], is about 2 million inhabitants; thus, about half the population of Puerto Rico now lives and works in this area.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gotopuertorico.com/tourism-puerto-rico.php| title=About Puerto Rico| publisher=Puerto Rico Tourism Company| date=2007| accessdate=2007-05-08}}</ref>
The city has been the host of numerous important events within the sports community, including the 1979 [[Pan American Games]], 1966 [[Central American and Caribbean Games]], 2006 [[World Baseball Classic]] and the [[Caribbean Series]].
==History==
[[Image:Ponce de Leon house.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Ruins of Juan Ponce de Leon's residence at Caparra]]
In 1508, [[Juan Ponce de León]] founded the original settlement [[Caparra_Archaeological_Site|Caparra]] (named after the province [[Caceres (province)|Caceres]], [[Spain]], the birthplace of then-governor of Spain's Caribbean territories [[Nicolas de Ovando]]),<ref> "[[Guaynabo]] -- Encyclopædia Britannica" (with history of [[Puerto Rico]]),''[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]'', 2006, ''Britannica.com'' webpage:[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9038345/Guaynabo EB-Guaynabo-Puerto-Rico]:names: [[Caparra]], the first Spanish settlement of Puerto Rico (1508).</ref> which today is known as the Pueblo Viejo sector of [[Guaynabo]], just to the west of the present San Juan metropolitan area. A year later, the settlement was moved to a site then called Puerto Rico, Spanish for "rich port" or "good port," after its similar geographical features to the island of [[Gran Canaria]] in the [[Canary Islands]].<ref name="Caparra">{{cite web| publisher=National Park Service| title=Historic places in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/nR/travel/prvi/pr27.htm|accessdate=2007-05-02}}</ref> In 1521, the newer settlement was given its formal name, ''San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico'', in honor of [[John the Baptist]], following the tradition of christening the town with both its formal name and the name which [[Christopher Columbus]] had originally given the island.
[[Image:Puerta de san juan-.jpg|thumb|left|La Puerta de San Juan (San Juan Gate).]]
The ambiguous use of ''San Juan Bautista'' and ''Puerto Rico'' for calling both the city and the island led to a reversal in practical use by most inhabitants: by 1746, the name for the city (Puerto Rico) had become that of the entire island, while the name for the Island (''San Juan Bautista'') had become the name for the city.<ref name="HistoryS.J.">{{cite web|title=Historia de San Juan de Puerto Rico |language=Spanish| publisher=Vive San Juan| date=2006| url=http://www.vivesanjuan.com/historia.htm|accessdate=2007-05-02}}</ref>
San Juan, as a settlement of the [[Spanish Empire]], was used by merchant and military ships traveling from Spain as the first stopover in the [[Americas]]. Because of its prominence in the Caribbean, a network of fortifications was built to protect the transports of gold and silver from the [[New World]] to [[Europe]]. Because of the rich transports, San Juan became a target of the foreign powers of the time.<ref>{{cite web|title=San Juan National Historic Site| url=http://www.nps.gov/archive/saju/faq.html#3|publisher=National Park Service| date=2000| accessdate=2007-05-29}}</ref>
The city was witness to attacks from the [[England|English]] led by [[Sir Francis Drake]] in 1595 and by [[George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland|George Clifford]], [[Earl of Cumberland]], in 1598. Artillery from San Juan's fort, [[Fort San Felipe del Morro|El Morro]], repelled Drake; however, Clifford managed to land troops and lay siege to the city.<ref name="history">{{cite web|title=History of Puerto Rico| publisher=Sol Boricua| date=2000| url=http://www.solboricua.com/history.htm|author=William Figueroa| language=Spanish |accessdate=2007-05-02}}</ref> After a few months of British occupation, Clifford was forced to abandon the siege when his troops began to suffer from exhaustion and sickness. In 1625 the city was sacked by [[Netherlands|Dutch]] forces lead by Boudewijn Hendricksz, but El Morro withstood the assault and was not taken. The English [[Battle of San Juan (1797)|attacked again]] in 1797, during the [[French Revolutionary Wars]], led by [[Ralph Abercromby|Sir Ralph Abercromby]] (who had just conquered [[Trinidad]]). His army laid siege to the city but was forced to withdraw in defeat as the [[Puerto Rico|Puerto Rican]] defenses proved more resilient than those of Trinidad. Various events and circumstances, including liberalized commerce with Spain, the opening of the island to immigrants as a direct result of the [[Royal Decree of Graces of 1815]], and the colonial revolutions, led to an expansion of San Juan and other Puerto Rican settlements in the late 18th and early 19th century.
In May 1898, [[United States]] [[Navy]] ships, among them the [[USS Detroit (C-10)|USS ''Detroit'']], [[USS Indiana (BB-1)|USS ''Indiana'']], [[USS New York (ACR-2)|USS ''New York'']], [[USS Amphitrite (BM-2)|USS ''Amphitrite'']], [[USS Terror (BM-4)|USS ''Terror'']] and [[USS Montgomery (C-9)|USS ''Montgomery'']], commanded by [[Rear Admiral]] [[William T. Sampson]], bombed San Juan during the [[Spanish-American War]], though the city was not occupied.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://members.tripod.com/~adjuntas1/guerra1.html| author=José Oquendo| publisher=Historia de Adjuntas, Puerto Rico|title=1898 - Adjuntas en la Guerra Hispanoamericana |accessdate=2006-10-10|language=Spanish}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.coqui.net/sarrasin/Carta.htm| title=Erwin Letter from US Marine Alden Morse, at the USS New York, relating the bombing of San Juan del 12 Mayo 1898| author=Miguel J.

Camp Las Casas, located in the district of Santurce, served as the main training camp for the Puerto Rican soldiers prior to [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]; the majority of the men trained in this facility were assigned to the [[65th Infantry Regiment (United States)|65th Infantry Regiment]] of the United States Army. This regiment has been active since 1898, and it is still active today. Camp Las Casas was eventually closed down, and in 1950 a public housing project by the name of [[Residencial Las Casas|Residencial Fray Bartolome de Las Casas]] was constructed on its former location.
[[Teofilo Marxuach|Lieutenant Teofilo Marxuach]] (Retired as a Lieutenant Colonel), a native of [[Arroyo, Puerto Rico]], was responsible for the first bullet shot by the American military during World War I, when he ordered the "Porto Rico Regiment of Infantry" to open fire on the ''Odenwald'', a German armed supply ship, when it was trying to force its way out of San Juan’s bay. This event occurred on [[April 6]], [[1917]], the day that the United States declared war on Germany.

===Cityscape===
Old San Juan occupies the western end of a rocky islet at the mouth of San Juan Bay. During the 20th century, the main population centers surged well beyond the walls of the old city and onto Puerto Rico's main island, and merged with the existing settlements east and south of Old San Juan. As a result, the city is now composed of a variety of neighborhoods.
====Old San Juan====

{{main|Old San Juan, Puerto Rico}}
During the Spanish colonial times most of the urban population resided in what is now known as [[Old San Juan]]. This sector is located on the western half of a small island called the ''Isleta de San Juan'', which is connected to the mainland by two bridges and a [[causeway]]. The small island, which comprises an area of 47 mi² (122 km²), also hosts the working class neighborhood of [[Puerta de Tierra]] and most of Puerto Rico's [[Executive Departments of the Government of Puerto Rico|central government]] buildings, including the [[Puerto Rico Capitol|Commonwealth's Capitol]].
The main central part of the city is characterized by narrow [[cobblestone]] streets and picturesque colonial buildings, some of which date back to the 16th and 17th century. Sections of the old city are surrounded by massive walls and several defensive structures and notable forts. These include the 16th century [[Fort San Felipe del Morro]] and 17th century [[Fort San Cristóbal]], both part of [[San Juan National Historic Site]], and the 16th century [[El Palacio de Santa Catalina]], also known as [[La Fortaleza]], which serves as the governor's mansion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/60sjspanish/60sanjuan.htm| title=Los Castillos del Viejo San Juan|language=Spanish | publisher=National Park Service| accessdate=2007-05-06}}</ref> Other buildings of interest predating the 20th century are the ''Ayuntamiento or Alcaldía'' (City Hall), the San José Church (1523) and the adjacent [[Hotel El Convento]], the former house of the Ponce de León family known as ''Casa Blanca'', the [[Teatro Tapia]], the former Spanish barracks (now Museum of Ballajá), La Princesa (former municipal jail, now a history museum), and the municipal cemetery of Saint María Madgalena of Pazzis, located just outside the city walls.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.coqui.net/sarrasin/ballaja.htm|title=History of ''El Cuartel de Ballajá''| language=Spanish| publisher=Coquí.Net| accessdate=2007-05-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rootsweb.com/~prsanjua/pazzi.htm|title=Viejo Cementerio de San Juan (graveyard's history)| author=E.

====Districts====
[[Image:Trip 029.jpg|thumb|right|193px|The Central Business District as viewed from Ocean Park.]]
San Juan is subdivided into 18 wards (''barrios'')<ref>http://welcome.topuertorico.org/maps/sanjuan.pdf</ref>, 16 of which fall within the former (until 1951) municipio of Rio Piedras. Eight ''barrios'' are further subdivided in to ''sub-barrios'', including both ''barrios'' of the former municipio of San Juan.

East of Old San Juan lies the upscale tourist oriented neighborhood of [[Condado]], which occupies land that used to be owned by entrepreneur Pablo Ubarri Capetillo, a Spanish railroad developer and Count of San José de Santurce under the Spanish colonial period. Beaches such as nearby [[Ocean Park, Puerto Rico|Ocean Park]], popular with swimmers, [[surfers]] and [[kitesurfers]], are found all along the district's Atlantic coastline which is also the locus of numerous hotels.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.holasanjuan.com/hotels_ocean_park.htm|title=Ocean Park...Hotels| publisher=Hola San Juan| date=2007| accessdate=2007-05-06}}</ref>
Near Condado are two separate business districts, [[Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico|Santurce]] and [[Miramar, Puerto Rico|Miramar]]. Miramar is mainly a residential area rising south of the Condado Lagoon. It comprises the former ''[[barrio]]'' of Miraflores, as well as drained marshland and landfill over which was built San Juan's first airport, the Isla Grande airport, which was renamed [[Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport]]in honor of Major [[Fernando Luis Ribas-Dominicci]] (USAF).
Miramar now hosts the [[Puerto Rico Convention Center]] as well as some of San Juan Harbor's cruise ship piers. In 2005 Miramar was designated an historical district of Puerto Rico.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.miramarpr.com/ |title=Informese: Miramar designated a historical district| publisher=MiramarPR| date=2007|accessdate=2007-05-06}}</ref>
Santurce, originally named ''San Mateo de Cangrejos'' (Saint Matthew of the Crabs), was a settlement for freed African slaves during the early days of the city. After Pablo Ubarri sought permission to link San Juan with Río Piedra proper via steam tramway in 1878, the time it took to travel between both points were shortened and thereby stimulated the colonization and growth of the district. At the beginning of the twentieth century an electric trolley was installed, the township was split into three parts, and its main settlement, merged with the city, was renamed using the Spanish spelling of [[Santurtzi]] (''[[Saint George]]'' in Basque), Ubarri's birthplace in [[Biscay|Vizcaya]], [[Spain]]. The "Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico" ([[Puerto Rico Museum of Art]])<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mapr.org/|title=Official site of the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico| language=Spanish| publisher=Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico| date=2006| accessdate=2007-05-06}}</ref> and other important cultural venues are located in Santurce.
[[Image:Old San Juan Street.jpg|thumb|left|Looking down an Old San Juan street towards the bay]]
South of Santurce is [[Hato Rey]], part of the former municipality of Río Piedras. Hato Rey was grazing ground for cattle owned by the royal government (hence its name, the ''King's Herd'' in Spanish) as early as the 16th century,<ref name="mini-wall-street"/> and is now considered the financial center of the island. A section of this district is often referred to as the "[[Golden Mile, Puerto Rico|Golden Mile]]" (actually {{convert|0.47|mi|km|2|disp=/}} long) due in part to the many banks and businesses located there.<ref name="mini-wall-street">{{cite web|url=http://www.puertorico-herald.org/issues/2004/vol8n47/PRSST0847-en.shtml|title="Eatin’ Where The Cows Used To Roam: Hato Rey Dining At Its Best"|author=Brenda A. Mari|publisher=The Puerto Rico Herald|date=2004-[[November 19|11-19]]|accessdate=2007-05-06}}</ref>
In the southern part of the city is the socially diversified community of [[Río Piedras]]. Founded in the mid 1850s, Río Piedras was a separate town which hosted sugar cane plantations and the estates of some of San Juan's wealthiest inhabitants (as well as their working class staff). The Spanish colonial governors also had their summer home there on land which eventually gave way to the main campus of the [[University of Puerto Rico]]. In 1951 the municipalities of San Juan and Río Piedras were merged to redefine San Juan's current city limits. Today Río Piedras comprises the largest area of the municipality of San Juan.<ref>{{cite web|title=Official site of the University of Puerto Rico|url=http://www.uprrp.edu/| language=Spanish| publisher=Universidad de Puerto Rico| date=2007| accessdate=2007-05-06}}</ref>
and is home to the renowned, traditional “ Plaza del Mercado” (Río Piedras [[Marketplace]]), the main campus and the Medical Sciences campus of the [[University of Puerto Rico]] and the [[San Juan Botanical Garden]].

San Juan is the largest city in Puerto Rico in population.<ref name ="poptotal" /> From 1899 to 1950 the municipality of San Juan excluded the township of Río Piedras. For this reason, population data and land area for the period make reference only to the Antiguo San Juan and Santurce ''barrios'', or subdivisions, of San Juan.
The old municipality of Río Piedras constituted the third most populated city of Puerto Rico at the time of its annexation in 1951. Its strategic location south of the capital served as a junction for all the principal ways of transportation of the Island and as a geographical entry to San Juan, which are factors that prompted Río Piedras's dramatic urban development in the 20th century.
==Economy==
<!-- Introduction, main areas -->
San Juan experienced significant economic growth following [[World War II]]. During this period the city underwent an [[industrial revolution]].<ref name="Encarta">Microsoft Encarta Biblioteca (2006), Microsoft Corporation</ref> The city’s economy relies mostly on companies dedicated to the manufacture of several products, including: [[Chemical substance]]s (bleach and house cleaning products); medicines; [[rum]] and other beverages; [[fertilizer]]s; electric tools; [[Electronics|electronic devices]]; plastics, [[textile]]s, and food-based products.<ref name="Encarta"/> Tourism is also a key industry, based on San Juan’s proximity to Puerto Rico’s main airport, the [[Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport]].<ref name="Encarta"/>
The tourism focus of the city is located in the district of Condado Beach where there are numerous luxurious hotels.<ref name="Encarta"/> Historical locations such as El Morro, Old San Juan and El Cuartel de Ballaja are promoted in tourism campaigns. The district of Hato Rey contains a corporate sector known as “La Milla de Oro,” which serves as the headquarters of numerous local and international banks. San Juan is often referred to as the “Wall Street of the Caribbean,” due to the influence of the area on the city’s economy.<ref name="mini-wall-street"/>
===Tourism===

[[Image:San Juan Port with Cargo.Jpg|thumb|right|250px|The [[Port of San Juan]] is the busiest port in the Caribbean and one of the busiest in the world.]]
The [[Port of San Juan]] is the fourth busiest seaport in the Western Hemisphere, ranked among the top 17 of the world in terms of container movement. It is also the largest home-based cruise port in the world with over a dozen cruise ships plying its docks with new cruise ships either originating or calling at the port every year.
The Metropolitan Area is served by two airports. The [[Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport]], San Juan's primary commercial airport, is located eight miles (12.7 km) from Old San Juan in neighboring Carolina. The airport accommodates more than 30 domestic and international airlines and is the busiest airport in the Caribbean. It is often referred to as "The Gateway to the Caribbean" because it serves as the main connection to the island and the rest of the Caribbean for the United States and vice versa. The second airport in the area is the [[Fernando Ribas Dominicci Airport]], which is located directly across the Caño San Antonio from Old San Juan in the Isla Grande district.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.prpa.gobierno.pr/APMain.aspx| title=Autoridad de puertos de Puerto Rico official website | language=Spanish| publisher=Autoridad de Puertos de Puerto Rico| accessdate=2007-05-08}}</ref> Dominicci Airport is used mainly by general aviation aircraft, charter flights, and some domestic commercial flights.

It is now also widely used by the Isla Grande Flight School and Caribbean Flight Center, the only flight schools on the island.
===Public transport===
{{seealso|Tren Urbano}}
Increased investment in public transportation has not changed the fact that San Juan is an automobile reliant city and its fast growth has sparked urban sprawl. It is currently served by five limited-access expressways and highways and numerous arterial avenues and boulevards and suffers from severe traffic congestion.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.dollarman.com/puertorico/sanjuan.html| title=About Puerto Rico...San Juan | publisher=Dollarman.com| accessdate=2007-05-11}}</ref>
[[Image:Tren Urbano.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Tren Urbano at Bayamón Station.]]
In an attempt to decrease vehicle dependency and road congestion, the City constructed a [[metro]] system dubbed “[[Tren Urbano]]” ("Urban Train"). The 10.7 mile (17.2 km) line connects to sixteen stations.<ref>{{cite web|title=Alternativa de Transporte Integrado homepage| publisher=Departamento de Trasportación Publica| date=2006| url=http://www.ati.gobierno.pr/|language=Spanish|accessdate=2007-05-08}}</ref> The project, which opened in late 2004, cost 2.25 billion dollars and was more than $1 billion over budget and four years late. The Tren Urbano has received less than expected ridership than was originally projected and has failed to make a significant impact on reducing the city's traffic, despite a reported 7.5% ridership increase in 2006 over 2005.
[[Public corporations of the Government of Puerto Rico|Metropolitan Bus Authority]] (“Autoridad Metropolitana de Autobuses” or AMA in Spanish) provides daily bus transportation to residents of San Juan, Guaynabo, Bayamón, Toa Baja, Trujillo Alto, Cataño, and Carolina through 30 different routes. Its fleet consists of 277 regular buses and 35 buses for handicapped persons, and its ridership is estimated at 112,000 on work days.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.dtop.gobierno.pr/AMA/Amades_e.htm| title=AMA: Descripción| publisher=Departamento de Transportación Publica| language=Spanish| date=2006| accessdate=2007-06-25}}</ref>
