General Information about Aguada

Aguada (English pronunciation: /əˈɡwɑːdə/, Spanish: [aˈɣwaða]) is a municipality of Puerto Rico, located in the western coastal valley region bordering the Atlantic Ocean, west of Rincón, Aguadilla and Moca; and north of Anasco. It is part of the Aguadilla-Isabela-San Sebastián Metropolitan Statistical Area. Aguada's population is spread over 17 wards and Aguada Pueblo (The downtown area and the administrative center of the city).
Aguada (literally: water-station or to water) - The shield of Aguada is the seal that the Municipal Government officially uses. It was given to the "Villa de San Francisco de Asís de la Aguada" by the Royal Bill of Grace of January 14 1778, by King Charles III. With it, they recognized the unique identity of the "Villa" as part of the Island of San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico. It carries then symbols of history, religion and culture. The cross, with the interlaced arms of the Redeemer and our Father Saint Francis is taken from the badge of the Order of Friars Minor. It represents the motto "Pax et Bonum" -- peace and good will between man and the Redeemer. The sun below the cross symbolizes the light that brightens the world. The lower part of the shield consists of five Columbine ships that symbolize the second voyage of Christopher Columbus, who arrived at the western "Guaniquilla" coast on November 19, 1493 to gather water. Although the precise location is disputed, the Aguada wells is a plausible site for the actual event. The mural crown in the upper part of the shield signifies the title "Muy Leal Villa" (very loyal village), that was given to this town by King Charles III, in the Royal Bill of Grace of January 14, 1778. The official colors of the shield are: red, which stands for the fraternal love that kindles all Aguada; gold, for the Spanish royalty in Puerto Rico; green, for the island's hope and fertility; black, for the wooden beam of the cross that redeemed the world; blue, for the sky and the kingship of the Creator; and white, for the Redeemer's purity and the purity of our people toward the cultural patrimony.[1]
