Antonio Fortún

He was the top civil authority in the municipality of Ponce from April 1850 to 8 January 1851.

[1] As corregidor, he had been named by the Spanish Crown to serve as Alcalde, but had both administrative duties and judicial powers.

It resulted from the Spanish Crown Order of 13 December 1849, which mandated Puerto Rico Provincial governor Juan de la Pezuela to institute a corregidor in Ponce.

At the time of this assignment, Fortún was the military commander of the district of Ponce.
