San Antón
San Antón is one of the 31 barrios of the municipality of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Along with Canas Urbano, Machuelo Abajo, Magueyes Urbano, and Portugués Urbano, San Antón is one of the municipality's five originally rural barrios that are now also part of the urban zone of the city of Ponce. It is totally enclosed within the Ponce city limits. It was founded in 1818.
San Antón is one of Ponce's oldest barrios. It is believed that this is where Spanish colonists first settled. It sits on the western bank of Rio Portugues. The name San Antón comes from the small chapel that Don Antonio Abad Rodríguez Berrios ordered to be built towards the end of the 16th century to honor San Antonio Abad. It was organized in 1831. In 2010, the Government of Puerto Rico declared it "Cuna de la Plena" (English: Birthplace of the plena).
San Antón is an urban barrio located in the southern section of the municipality, within the Ponce city limits, and southeast of the traditional center of the city, Plaza Las Delicias. The toponymy, or origin of the name, is related to the Catholic Church saint San Antonio Abad.
San Anton is bounded on the North by Boulevard Miguel Pou/PR-1 and Nine Street (Calle 9) of Urb. Jardines Fagot, on the South by PR-2, on the West by Rio Portugues, Emilio Fagot Avenue, and Boulevard Miguel Pou/PR-1, and on the East by PR-2 (roughly) and Rio Bucana.
In terms of barrio-to-barrio boundaries, San Antón is bounded in the North by Machuelo Abajo and Sabanetas, in the South by Playa, in the West by Cuarto, Quinto, and Canas Urbano, and in the East by Sabanetas and Bucaná.
San Antón has an estimated 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2) of land area and 0.1 square miles (260,000 m2) of water area. In 2000, the population of San Antón was 11,271 persons, representing an estimated population density of 6,630 persons per square mile.
