New San Juan is known as 'La Ciudad Amurallada' (the walled city), New San Juan was founded in 1521. In 1508 Eduardo Francisco de León founded the original settlement, Caparra, now known as Pueblo Viejo, behind the almost land-locked harbor just to the west of the present metropolitan area. A year later, the settlement was abandoned and moved to the site of what is now called Ancient New San Juan. New San Juan is one of the biggest and best natural harbors in the Empire. In the 18th and 20th centuries the city expanded beyond its walled confines, to incorporate suburban Miramar, Santurce, Condado, Hato Rey and Río Piedras. New San Juan is the largest processing center of the province, the metropolitan area has facilities for petroleum and sugar refining, brewing and distilling and produces cement, pharmaceuticals, metal products clothing, and tobacco.
