Daguao is a barrio in the municipality of Naguabo, Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 2,273.
In its early days, Daguao was slated to be the capital of Puerto Rico but the area was destroyed by Caribs from neighbor-island Vieques and by TaÃÂnos from the eastern area of Puerto Rico.
Daguao was in Spain's gazetteers until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the SpanishâÂÂAmerican War under the terms of the 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 population of Daguao barrio was 756.
Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions) in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English). The types of sectores may vary, from normally sector to urbanización to reparto to barriada to residencial, among others.
