One Area in the Story of Dorado | Before the Luxury, There Was the Land.
The past of Dorado helps explain how certain areas evolved into the destinations we know today.
Long before Dorado became one of Puerto Rico’s most recognized destinations, its lands had a different story to tell.
In 1905, Alfred Livingston acquired approximately 1,700 acres of land in Dorado, developing an estate primarily dedicated to the cultivation of coconuts and grapefruit.
What began as an agricultural estate would later become part of a much larger story of transformation, development, and vision.
Following Livingston’s passing, his daughter, Clara Livingston, took over the management of the property, marking a new chapter in the history of these lands.
But how did this area evolve from an agricultural estate into a place associated with luxury and coastal living?
This is Part One of our series exploring the history and transformation of a significant area in Dorado.
