Palo Seco was in Spain's gazetteers[6] 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 Palo Seco barrio was 802. With the 2010 census, part of the Palo Seco barrio became Tumbao barrio.[7]
