Hato Rey is a former ward located in the northwest part of the dissolved municipality of Río Piedras. It now stretches over three wards, called barrios, of the municipality of San Juan, Puerto Rico:
Its name means "the king's cattle farm ". In the 18th century, cattle would roam among the sugar cane fields in the area. Its proximity to residential areas in San Juan, Río Piedras, Miramar, etc. made it a perfect location from where to produce what its residents would eat. The area also used to be known as "Las Monjas" due to a convent that used to be located in the area in the 19th century.
