History

The name of this subdistrict comes from the Spanish word for marketplace, as Old San Juan's main marketplace used to be located here.

The United States took control of Puerto Rico from Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico, finding that the population of Mercado was 2,038.
