Where is Puerto Rico located? Puerto Rico officially the Common wealth of Puerto Rico (Spanish: "Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico" ), is a self- governing, unincorporate d territory of the United States, located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands.

Flag, Motto, Anthem: Puerto Rico’s motto is John is his name The land of Borinquen where I have been born is a flowery garden of magical beauty. A constantly clear sky serves as its canopy and placid lullabies are sung by the waves at its feet. When at her beaches Columbus arrived full of awe he exclaimed, "Oh!, oh!, oh!, this is the lovely land that I seek" Borinquen is the daughter, the daughter of the sea and the sun. Of the sea and the sun, of the sea and the sun, of the sea and the sun.

Sports: Baseball was one of the first sports to gain widespread popularity in Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rico Baseball League serves as the only active professional league, operating as a winter league. Boxing, basketball, and volleyball are considered popular sports as well. he Puerto Rico Islanders Football Club, founded in 2003, plays in the United Soccer Leagues First Division, which constitutes the second tier of football in North America. Puerto Rico is also a member of FIFA and CONCACAF.

History: The history of the archipelago of Puerto Rico before the arrival of Christopher Columbus is not well known. What is known today comes from archaeological findings and early Spanish accounts. The first comprehensive book on the history of Puerto Rico was written by Fray Iñigo Abbad y Lasierra in 1786, about 293 years after the first Spaniards arrived on the island

Famous People / Role Models: Roberto Clemente Walker (August 18, 1934 � December 31, 1972) was a Major League Baseball right fielder and right- handed batter.
