Arturo Lluberas Rodriguez de la Seda

Arturo Lluberas Rodriguez de la Seda was born in Yauco on July 25, 1878. With his wife, Asuncion Negroni Forjo, he belonged to one of the most distinguished families devoted to serving the community, especially the less fortunate. His philanthropic instinct led him to seek the well-being of his fellow townspeople, and with his own capital he installed the San Francisco power plant. To offset fluctuations in sugar cane costs, he built the park in front of the town hall for the use and enjoyment of young people, among many other contributions. During his productive life and in his desire to serve the people, he held several important positions in government and the private sector, including serving as mayor of Yauco from 1925 to 1928.
