Loíza is known as "El Pueblo de la Cacica". Loíza was proclaimed a town officially in 1692 and named in honor of Yuisa or Luisa, one of the women caciques on the island when the Spanish conquerors arrived. It was not until 1719 that the Spanish government declared it as an official town. It was founded by Gaspar de Arredondo.
Settled by Nigerian slaves of the Yoruba tribe in the 16th century, Loíza is a center for African-inspired traditions, retaining one of the highest percentages of African descendants of all island towns. Among those traditions Loíza celebrates the "Fiestas Patronales" where salsa dancing, masquerades, colorful parades and rich Puerto Rican food make this festival a classic. The nine days of this carnival pay homage to Loízas patron saint, St. James.
Loíza is a great place to sample the Puerto Rican variety of Afro-Caribbean cuisine.
Every July Loíza host the very popular St. Jaime's Carnival. This colorful carnival-like celebration features costumes, masks, parades, and bomba dancers, along kiosks selling crafts and traditional food. The event reflects the African and Spanish heritage and traditions.
Its San Patricio Church (begun in 1645) is the oldest on the island and is still active as a parish church.
Loíza is located in the northeastern coast, north of Canóvanas; east of Carolina's Isla Verde; and west of Río Grande.
