Callejones was in Spain's gazetteers{{cite web | title=Anuario del comercio, de la industria, de la magistratura y de la administración. 1881 | website=Biblioteca Nacional de España | url=https://hemerotecadigital.bne.es/hd/es/viewer?id=9047075f-3c7e-411c-9e1e-41a2f650e1ba&page=1587 | language=es |page=1614| access-date=4 April 2023}} 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 Callejones barrio was 2,152.{{cite book|author1=Joseph Prentiss Sanger|author2=Henry Gannett|author3=Walter Francis Willcox|title=Informe sobre el censo de Puerto Rico, 1899, United States.
