==History==
The history of the Ponce YMCA dates back to 1917 when the YMCA was organized in San Juan. In 1919 efforts and surveys were made to start YMCA work in Ponce. In 1934, Manuel Bueno became General Secretary of the Puerto Rico YMCA, the first native Puerto Rican to hold the post. Hurricanes in September 1928 and again in 1931, prevented the Ponce work to move forward once more, as money that had been obtained for the International YMCA Committee had to be used by the San Juan YMCA to help towards repairs to the San Juan YMCA building after these storms. In 1934, however, the YMCA of Puerto Rico became self-supporting.〔(''HISTORY OF YMCA INTERNATIONAL WORK IN PUERTO RICO.'' ) Retrieved 9 July 2012.〕
The Great Depression of the 1930s, however, made it very difficult once more to move forward with plans to build a YMCA building in Ponce. The General Secretary, for example, received no salary for six months. As a result of these difficulties, affiliation with various state-wide YMCA organizations was sought in 1944, and again in 1947. The Ponce YMCA was founded in 1947, partly as a result of these affiliations.〔(''HISTORY OF YMCA INTERNATIONAL WORK IN PUERTO RICO.'' ) Retrieved 9 July 2012.〕 Its architect was Pedro A. de Castro Gaya. On 10 September 1953 the new Ponce YMCA building broke ground. It was inaugurated on 22 February 1955.〔Carlos A. Rubio Cancela. "Ponce Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) Building."
