Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico

Río Piedras is the largest district of the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Founded in 1714, Rio Piedras was recognized as a municipality until 1951 when it became part of San Juan. By this, the territory of San Juan increased to four times its former size. The last mayor of the municipality of Río Piedras was Ángeles Méndez de López Corver.
Public transportation is enhanced by the Urban Train Metro system which has stations at the University's campus and at the center of Río Piedras which you see in this video. Even though the former are considered the current stations at Río Piedras, all stops of the train in the municipality of San Juan are located in areas that were part of the City of Río Piedras prior to 1951.
