History

In 1815, a group of residents, began the process to separate Morovis from Manatí.

Was officially founded in 1818 when the construction of a church and several other public buildings was fulfilled.

Morovis has a particular nickname. It was the only municipality in Puerto Rico that did not suffer from a

cholera epidemic in 1853; as a result, a common phrase, "la isla menos Morovis“.
