The Taíno Indians who lived there, baptized as Saint Helena, were enslaved and used as labor. Some historians argue that this was the first experimental agricultural station on the Island. The vegetables brought from Europe were introduced there and those grown on the Island were improved. By the end of the 16th century, Toa Baja had a growing agricultural and livestock activity. The Ribera del Toa attracted numerous settlers during the century who arrived in the region due to the richness of their floodplains and abundant fishing.
