It provided free land and encouraged the use of slave labour to revive agriculture. The new agricultural class that emigrated from Europe sought to acquire slave labour in large numbers leading to another increase in the flow of African people. The result was that Puerto Rico (like Cuba), was one of the last territories in the Caribbean to continue importing large numbers of enslaved Africans and became the Spanish Crown’s other leading producer and exporter of sugar, coffee, cotton and tobacco; all mostly produced with enslaved African labour. The Royal census of Puerto Rico in 1834 established that the island’s population as 42, 000 enslaved Africans, 25, 000 coloured freemen, 189, 000 people who identified themselves as whites and 101, 000 who were described as being of mixed ethnicity.
An understanding of how the Afro-Puerto Rican presence is perceived can be gathered from the treatment meted out to illegal Dominican migrants. Puerto Ricans tend to represent Dominicans as being darker-skinned than themselves, and emphasize their African influenced facial features and hair texture.
Afro-Puerto Ricans - Minority Rights GroupProfile Censuses from the 1950s have not included ethnicity and it is difficult to quantify Afro-Puerto Ricans as a percentage of the population. Estimates range from 22 per cent to 65 per cent. Afro-Puerto Ricans were among the first non-indigenous people to arrive on the shores of Puerto Rico and can therefore look back to a more that 500-year presence however long enduring prejudices still affect their lives.

The largest contingents of Africans into Puerto Rico came from the Gold Coast (today Ghana), Nigeria and Dahomey, (Guinea Coast). Many were Yoruba, Ashanti, Fon, and Igbo from Nigeria other Bantu areas on the Guinea Coast. Furthermore as a result of the events in nearby Hispaniola, hundreds of Spanish refugees moved from that island to Puerto Rico after Spain ceded the western part Hispaniola to France, Additionally hundreds more migrated from Spain’ s colony on the Eastern side following the triumph of the Haitian revolution in 1804 and Haiti’s subsequent attempts to annex Santo Domingo (1822-1844).
These migrants included not only European land owners but the Africans they had enslaved and also people of mixed European / African ancestry. Some of these refugees settled on the other side of the Mona Passage in the western part of Puerto Rico near the cities of Mayagüez and San Germán. It is still considered part of the oral history in the area around the city of Mayagüez that the barrio Miraflores of the town of Añasco was once populated by many indians and ‘negros cimarrones’ fleeing slavery. Soon after Puerto Rico was opened to foreign trade, the Royal Decree of Graces of 1815 was issued to encourage Spaniards and later Europeans from non-Spanish countries to settle and populate Cuba and Puerto Rico.

By the time Spain reestablished commercial ties with Puerto Rico, the island had acquired a largely mixed population including a significant free Afro descendant element. Plantation revival The next major influx of Africans into Puerto Rico came after the issue of the ‘Royal Decree of Graces of 1789′. This granted Spanish subjects the right to purchase slaves and to participate in the flourishing business of slave trading and transport in the Caribbean. Later that year a new slave code, also known as ‘El Codigo Negro’ (The Black code), was introduced.
