Barahona is a barrio in the municipality of Morovis, Puerto Rico.

[3][4][5] Barahona was in Spain's gazetteers[6] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States.

In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Barahona barrio was 854.

After Hurricane Maria destroyed critical infrastructure in Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, the Puerto Rico National Guard was tasked with providing people with potable water.

Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[13] in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English).
