Salinas
The Town of the "Mojo Isleño"
Foundation: Salinas was founded on the year 1851. Its name is derives from its large and abundant formations of salt in its coasts. In 1842 the settlements of the area united in an effort by obtaining authorization to found the town, and to be distributed the expenses that where required to build the necessary municipal works. On July 15, 1847 a real order directs that Salinas be segregated of Coamo and be added to Guayama. The neighbors follow his efforts and on July 22, 1851 took place the foundation of the town, formed by the neighborhoods of Ausubos o Lapa, Collado, Palmas, Quebrada Yeguas, Quebrada Honda, Río Jueyes y Salinas Pueblo.
On March 1, 1902 the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico approved the Law for the Consolidation of certain Municipal Terms by which suppressed the municipality of Salinas and added to that of Guayama its neighborhoods. This situation was maintained thus until 1905, when a new law of the Legislative Assembly abrogated the previous one and returned to Salinas its title of municipality, with the same neighborhoods that had in 1902. In 1948 the neighborhood Aguirre was divided into Central Aguirre (Village), Coquí, San Felipe and Aguirre, and enlarged the surface of the metropolitan area.
For decades Salinas has known himself as the "Town of the “Mojo Isleño". The “Mojo” is a tasty sauce that is used to serve with the fried fish, is utilized to wet the fried fish. The reddish mixture has like main ingredients, tomato sauce, olive oil, garlic, leaf of laurel and abundant onion.
The histories that there are told by the old resident of the Beach is that they assure that it was in Salinas where this delicious plate was created. Some have told that there was a native of the Canaries Islands, nicknamed "El Isleño" who arrived to the Salinas beach and he teach to the local residents how to prepare the “Mojo”.
But the most accepted version is that it was Mrs. Euladia Correa, born in the Beach in 1898, who with its private formula attracted the most exacting paladares to its bohío, and subsequently to its known restaurant, bringing to light in every Puerto Rico that exquisite one manjar. Its culinary art provoked that to Salinas it was baptized as the "Town of the “Mojo Isleño". The department of Agriculture and Commerce offered Mrs. Ladí a medal by its contribution to the promotion of the economy of the country.
