Canóvanas barrio-pueblo is a barrio and the administrative center (seat) of Canóvanas, a municipality of Puerto Rico. Its population in 2010 was 4,060.[1][4][5][6]
As was customary in Spain, in Puerto Rico, the municipality has a barrio called pueblo which contains a central plaza, the municipal buildings (city hall), and a Catholic church. Fiestas patronales (patron saint festivals) are held in the central plaza every year.[7][8]
The central plaza, or square, is a place for official and unofficial recreational events and a place where people can gather and socialize from dusk to dawn. The Laws of the Indies, Spanish law, which regulated life in Puerto Rico in the early 19th century, stated the plaza's purpose was for "the parties" (celebrations, festivities) (Spanish: a propósito para las fiestas), and that the square should be proportionally large enough for the number of neighbors (Spanish: grandeza proporcionada al número de vecinos). These Spanish regulations also stated that the streets nearby should be comfortable portals for passersby, protecting them from the elements: sun and rain.[7]
Located across the central plaza in Canóvanas barrio-pueblo is the Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Pilar, a Roman Catholic church.[9]
U.S. Decennial Census 1899 (shown as 1900)[10] 1910-1930[11] 1930-1950[12] 1980-2000[13] 2010[14]

Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[6] 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.[15][16][17]
