Aibonito is known as La Ciudad de la Flores (City of Flowers). The town was founded in March 13, 1824 by Manuel Vélez. Aibonito derives its name from a name given by the Indians “Jatibonucu” which literally means “Great People of the Sacred High Waters.” Aibonito its territory is mountainous, located in the Mountain Range of Cayey. Aibonito is known for its flowers, and since 1969, a two weekend event draws big crowds of locals and visitors.
