## History

The borough was founded in 1845, and by 1848 its party was created. Arroyo Naranjo is situated 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) south of [Old Havana](/source/Old_Havana) on the Havana-Las Vegas highway, having been a stop of buses that were doing the service between these two cities. In 1858 Arroyo Naranjo had 291 inhabitants, who were increasing in the period of the baths, for the proximity to the medicinal waters known by the *Cacahual*. Arroyo Naranjo had always a progressive population. From 291 inhabitants of 1858, in 1871 the town had 1,485.

In 1939, famed painter [Carlos Enriquez](/source/Carlos_Enriquez_Gomez) bought a small ranch house in Arroyo Naranjo, dubbed "El Huron Azul" (the Blue Ferret), which became a meeting-place for Cuba's avant-garde artists, and is now a museum dedicated to Enriquez' work.[3]
