San José de los Ramos is a former town in the east of the Cuban province of Matanzas.

[2] San José de los Ramos was founded in 1844 when the first houses were built near the Júcaro railway.

In 1527, it was sold to Andrés Recio and took the name Las Ciegas (The Blind Women) before becoming San José de los Ramos.

The La Palma River which enjoys considerable flow is fed by three streams, the first from the Lake of Banagüises, the second, known as the Piedra River originating in the Nueva Bermeja and Palmillas and fed by the Jigüe, Macagosa and other streams, and the third the creek of Potrerillo.

The La Palmas River flows 65 km (40 mi) from San José de los Ramos to its mouth in the Bay of Santa Clara.
