The Jatibonicu territorial region covered the present day municipalities of Aibonito, Orocovis, Barranquitas, Morovis and Corozal.
The Taíno language name Orocobix or O-roco-bis literally means: 'Remembrance of the First Great Mountain.'
The seat of power of Orocobix's kingdom and caney (longhouse) was located in the town of Aibonito.
Cacique Orocobix and Cacica Yayo were both later enslaved in the year 1514 and worked in the Royal Mines of the King of Spain, in Utuado.
Surveyors in 1952 claimed that Palo Hincado, a barrio in Barranquitas may have been the home of Orocobix.
