"Seva" is considered to be one of the most important short stories ever published in Puerto Rico.
The date of the foundation of the fictitious town of Seva is unknown, but the town's demise in August 1898 is amply documented in the book Seva, by Luis López Nieves.
In the story the invasion of Puerto Rico begins on May 5, 1898 when the US Army disembarks on the beaches of the small town of Seva.
On August 10, 1898 the US Army shoots the 720 citizens of Seva that are captured in the final battle.
Like Ceiba, it has an eastern coast on the Atlantic Ocean, and it is located north of Naguabo, south of Fajardo, and east of Río Grande.
