History

Toa Alta is located west of the capital city of San Juan and was founded in 1751, making it one of the oldest towns on the main island of Puerto Rico. The construction of the San Fernando Rey Church in the main town square began in 1752. It is popularly said that the name Toa Alta comes from the Taíno word for mother or fertility, Thoa. Most likely the word toa comes from the Taino word for valley or mountain; the region is also known as Valle del Toa (Toa Valley).{{Citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Over the years, agriculture became an important economic force in the area. At the peak of the agricultural economy, the town was also known as the "Granja de los Reyes Católicos" (the Farm of the Catholic Monarchs). The town is also called Ciudad del Josco. The town is commonly known by its nickname La Cuna de los Poetas, or "Cradle of Poets", due to the numerous Spanish-language poets born there, such as Abelardo Díaz Alfaro and the musician Tomás "Masso" Rivera.{{cite web |title=Plan Ordenamiento Territorial del Municipio de Toa Alta |url=https://jp.pr.gov/Portals/0/Planes%20Territoriales/PT%20-%20Toa%20Alta/Toa%20Alta%20PT%20Memorial%20y%20Programa.pdf?ver=2018-01-11-233021-617 |website=Gobierno de Puerto Rico Oficina del Gobernador Junta de Planificación |access-date=2019-06-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190613042410/http://jp.pr.gov/Portals/0/Planes%20Territoriales/PT%20-%20Toa%20Alta/Toa%20Alta%20PT%20Memorial%20y%20Programa.pdf?ver=2018-01-11-233021-617 |archive-date=2019-06-13 |url-status=live }}
