Carolina, Puerto Rico

(kah-ro-LEE-nah)

Carolina is known as “La Tierra de Gigantes” (land of giants),
in honor of one of its inhabitants: Don Felipe Birriel, who
was the tallest man in Puerto Rican history, with an
unconfirmed height of 2.413 meters or seven feet eleven inches (7′ 11″).

Carolina is also known as “El Pueblo de los Tumba Brazos” (arm
hackers’ town), because in old days, it is said that people resolved their
conflicts with a duel.

Carolina was originally founded by Spanish colonizer Alonzo Pizarro Hermona in 1816 as San Miguel de
Trujillo Bajo (lower Trujillo), along with its counterpart Trujillo Alto, after Trujillo, a city
located in Caceres, Spain, where he came from.

The story is told that the origin of the name “San Fernando de la Carolina”
was in honor of Don Fernando de Norzagaray, Captain General of the Island and Don Fernando
Cotoner, Civil Governor and Captain General who certified the foundation of the new town.
The name “de la Carolina” corresponds to the name of Don Gaspar Martinéz’
daughter, Carolina de San Juan, the person who donated the land to establish the municipality.

Another story states that, Trujillo Bajo was renamed to San Fernando de la Carolina,
but later shortened to Carolina, after Charles II of Spain.

Located about 12 miles (19 km) east of the capital, on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico.
Carolina is home of the island’s main and busiest airport, the Luis Muñoz Marín International
Airport is located in Isla Verde.
