Hola! The first governor of Puerto Rico was Juan Ponce de Leon in 1508. Same guy who was searching for the fountain of youth in Florida. Luis Munoz Marin was the first democratically elected Governor of Puerto Rico in 1949 and considered one of the most important 20th century political figures in the Americas. He was governor for 16 years. Many good books about PR, be sure to visit any museums if you are in the San Juan area. Good info about the history and culture of our island. Culebra has a museum too! Happy travels! J
