Charcas is a barrio in the municipality of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico.

[3][4][5] Charcas is the location of a nostalgic reenactment event Fiesta de Los Jibaros in December which depicts country life before the 1950s.

Charcas was in Spain's gazetteers[12] 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 Charcas barrio was 330.

[13] Barrios (which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions)[14] in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English).
