Garrochales is a barrio located in the northeastern area of the municipality of Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

[6] Barrios (which are like minor civil divisions)[7] in turn are further subdivided into smaller local populated place areas/units called sectores (sectors in English).

Garrochales was in Spain's gazetteers[13] 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 Garrochales barrio was 950.
