Pueblos in Puerto Rico

Pueblo is a term primarily used in Puerto Rico to refer to the municipal district (barrio) that serves as the administrative, historic and cultural center of a municipality. The concept of pueblo is often used locally as analogous to the concept of downtown in U.S. cities.[1] Pueblos are officially called barrio-pueblo by the United States Census since 1990.[2]
