The growth of Santiago de los Caballeros has also spurred the development of Gurabo, being that its close to the city. Gurabo was once very rural yet has always had agricultural, industrial, commercial and textile sectors. Today, it retains these sectors yet with its growth there are many housing developments, which began in the late 1990s.[4] This has led to Gurabo being considered a satellite city of Santiago.
