Juan Cortada y Quintana
Juan Cortada y Quintana (born ca. 1820 - died 1889) was a Puerto Rican politician, businessman, and landowner. He served as Mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico from 1873 to 1874.
==Hacendado==
Cortada and his brother Ramón, were ''hacendados'', landowners who owned several sugar cane haciendas like Hacienda Descalabrado (then known as Central Cortada), Las Mercedes, La Palmarito, and La Mallorquina, among others. They were located in the region between Ponce and Santa Isabel.〔(''Central Cortada: El fin de la producción azucarera.'' ) Melvin Rivera Velázquez. SantaIsabelPR. 20 February 2009. Retrieved 22 January 2012.〕
The workers in such estates were almost always slaves. Thus it is likely that Cortada owned slaves in working his sugar cane farm.〔(''Terratenientes Extranjeros.'' ) Melvin Rivera Velazaquez. SantaIsabelPR. 27 January 2008. Retrieved 22 January 2012.〕 Some sources confirm that Cortada in fact owned 28 slaves in 1872, one year before the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico.〔(''Propietarios de esclavos en los barrios rurales de Ponce.'' ) Retrieved 28 November 2009.〕
Since 1868, Cortada's estate had irrigation problems, which led Cortada to ask for permits to use the waters of Río Descalabrado river to irrigate his land. After some financial troubles, and with the death of his first wife, Cortada ceded the ownership of the Hacienda Descalabrado to his two young sons, Juan and Eduardo. However, this change wasn't registered. Cortada also had debts for the mortgage of the land where Hacienda Palmarito was established. In 1874, he had to sell Hacienda Descalabrado, but he recovered it in 1884.〔(''La Estancia Descalabrado y los Cortada.'' ) Melvin Rivera Velázquez. SantaIsabelPR. 31 March 2010. Retrieved 22 January 2012.〕
