Puerto Rico was originally populated by an aboriginal people known as Taínos. These "Indians" were often forced into slavery in the early years of colonization. Their population also suffered extremely high fatalities from epidemics of European infectious diseases and most of them were wiped out, leaving only a few pockets of Tainos in the central mountains, known as the Cordillera Central.

An ancient ball court, a midden mound and about 400 burials that date back to before Europeans arrived in the Caribbean were found on the Portugues River in Puerto Rico several years ago. The site was considered so important that plans to build a dam there were called off and the historically important site has been preserved.
