Кіріспе
Рикон – Пуэрто-Риконың 1771 жылы Дон Луис де Аняско құрған, бұрын 1733 жылы Анясконы құрған, танымал жағажай қаласы және муниципалитеті. Ол Аньаско мен Агуаданың батысында, Батыс Жағалау аңғарында орналасқан. Рикон 9 барио және Рикон Пуэблоға (қаланың орталығы және әкімшілік орталығы) бөлінген. Ол Агуадилла, Исабела, Сан-Себастьян қалаларының метрополитендік статистикалық аймағының бөлігі. Муниципалитет Пуэрто-Рикодағы серфингке арналған көптеген жағажайларға ие, оның ішінде Домес, Мариас, Трес Палмас, Сэнди Бич, Пулс Бич, Корсега Бич және Рикон Таун Бич жатады. "Рикон" сөзі кастиль тілінде "құрыш" дегенді білдіреді. Рикон Пуэрто-Риконың солтүстігінде, аралдың батыс шетінде орналасқан. Риконның халқы аралдың қалған бөлігімен салыстырғанда көптеген испандық емес ақ адамдардан (көбінесе АҚШ пен Ұлыбританиядан) тұрады. Муниципалитетке АҚШ-тың материктік тұрғындарының көшіп келуі нәтижесінде gentrification күшейгендігі белгілі (пуэрто-рикандықтар мен испандық емес тұрғындардың біріккен саны), бұл көршілес қалалармен салыстырғанда жалдау бағасының және азық-түлік сияқты басқа да тауарлардың қымбаттауына әкелді.
Town and municipality in Puerto Rico
Rincón (riŋˈkon) is a popular beach town and municipality of Puerto Rico founded in 1771 by Don Luis de Añasco, who previously founded Añasco in 1733. It is located in the Western Coastal Valley, west of Añasco and Aguada. Rincón is spread over 9 barrios and Rincón Pueblo (the downtown area and the administrative center of the city). It is part of the Aguadilla Isabela San Sebastián Metropolitan Statistical Area. The municipality is home to many of the surfing beaches in Puerto Rico, including Domes, Marias, Tres Palmas, Sandy Beach, Pools Beach, Córcega Beach and Rincón Town Beach. The word "Rincón" means "nook" in Castilian Spanish. Rincón is in the north, on the westernmost tip of Puerto Rico. Rincon has a large population of Non Hispanic whites(most from the mainland United States and United Kingdom) when compared to the rest of the Island. Its known to suffer strong gentrification from the increasing Mainland US population moving to the Municipality(Puerto Ricans & Non Hispanic combined) leading to higher rent prices and higher prices in other commodities such as groceries when compared to neighboring cities. History
Rincón was founded in 1771 by Don Luis de Añasco. In 1885, Benito Cumpiano was mayor of Ríncon and in 1890, Victor Cumpiano was Ríncon's mayor. Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became a territory of the United States. In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Rincón was 6,641. On September 20, 2017 Hurricane Maria struck the island of Puerto Rico. In Rincón, infrastructure was damaged and about 400 homes were damaged or completely destroyed. Intense rainfall and winds triggered numerous landslides. The storm surge bought 4 feet of water into homes on the coast. Geography
Rincón is located on the western coast of Puerto Rico, on the westernmost tip. Updated flood zone maps (as of 2019) show that Rincón is extremely vulnerable to flooding, along with Humacao, Toa Baja, Barceloneta, and Corozal. For its high levels of erosion, Rincón is vulnerable in the case of a major hurricane. Barrios
Like all municipalities of Puerto Rico, Rincón is subdivided into barrios. The municipal buildings, main central square and large Catholic church are located in a downtown barrio referred to as "el pueblo". Atalaya

BONUS құрылысы 1960 жылы басталды, ал реакторда алғашқы бақыланатын ядролық тізбекті реакция 1964 жылдың 13 сәуірінде болды, толық қуатпен жұмыс істеу 1965 жылдың қыркүйегінде қамтамасыз етілді. BONUS реакторының жұмысы 1968 жылдың маусым айында техникалық қиындықтар мен одан туындаған жоғары құнмен жөндеу жұмыстарының қажеттілігіне байланысты тоқтатылды. Реакторды толықтай тазалау мақсаты – ғимараттың барлық қолжетімді бөліктерінде пайдалану шектеулері болмауына қол жеткізу болды. Құрылымда қалған радиоактивті материалдар келушілер мен жұмысшыларды қорғау үшін оқшауланды немесе қоршалды. Келесі жылдары ғимараттың кейбір бөліктерінде қосымша радиоактивті ластану анықталды, 1990-шы жылдар мен 2000-шы жылдардың басында қосымша тазалау және қорғау шаралары жүргізілді. 2020 жылғы мәліметтер бойынша, халықтың 5,1%-ы испан тілді емес, бұл Ринконды Пуэрто-Рикодағы испан тілді емес халқы ең көп муниципалитетке айналдырды. Бұл көрсеткіш 2010 жылға қарағанда артқан, онда халықтың тек 3,6%-ы испан тілді емес еді.
The major industry of Rincón is tourism. The Boiling Nuclear Superheater (BONUS) Reactor Facility, also known to the locals as "the Domes", is a decommissioned nuclear plant. The construction of BONUS started in 1960, and the reactor had its first controlled nuclear chain reaction on April 13, 1964, achieving full power operation in September 1965. Operation of the BONUS reactor was terminated in June 1968 because of technical difficulties and the ensuing need for high cost modifications. General decontamination of the reactor was performed with the goal of meeting unrestricted use criteria in all accessible areas of the building. Residual radioactive materials remaining in the structure were isolated or shielded to protect site visitors and workers. During subsequent years, more radioactive contamination was identified in portions of the building, and additional clean up and shielding activities were conducted in the 1990s and early 2000s. As of 2020, 5.1% of the population is of non Hispanic origin, making Rincón the least Hispanic municipality on the Puerto Rican mainland. This represents an increase from 2010, when only 3.6% of the population was non Hispanic.
Туризм
"Арт-жүріс" – Ринкон қауымдастығының әлеуметтік байланысын нығайтуға бағытталған қоғамдық жобасы. Ол әр бейсенбіде өтеді. Жергілікті тұрғындар мен туристер Ринкон қаласының орталық алаңында, Plaza de Recreo-да тамақ, сусын, музыка мен жергілікті өнердің қызығын көреді.
"Art Walk", a community initiative to build the social fabric of Rincón, takes places every Thursday. Locals and tourists mingle in the main town square Plaza de recreo in downtown Rincón to enjoy food, drinks, music and local art.
Серфинг
Ринкон серфингке арналған танымал орын ретінде белгілі. Ринкон 1968 жылы Domes және Maria's Beaches жағажайларында өткен Әлемдік серфинг чемпионаты арқылы халықаралық деңгейде танылды. Ринкон жағалауындағы қысқы серфинг аймақтағы ең жақсыларының бірі саналады. Әлемдегі ең үздік серфинг орындарының бірі деп есептелетін Ринкон бүкіл әлемнен серфингшілерді қызықтырады және аралдың серфинг өмірінің орталығы болып табылады. "Кариб теңізінің Гавайиі" деп аталған бұл жерде қысқы толқындардың биіктігі 25-30 футқа (6,7 метрге) жетеді, кейде Оахудың солтүстік жағалауындағы толқындардың күшімен тең болады. Қаладағы белгілі серфинг жағажайлары: Кішкентай Малибу, Трес Палмас, Мария, Индикатор, Купол, Бассейн, Сэнди Бич және Антонио. Серфинг жасау үшін ең қолайлы уақыт қарашадан наурызға дейін, бірақ жазғы дауылдар да жаздың соңында толқындарды көтере алады.
Rincón is well known as a surfing destination. Rincón rose to international recognition through the 1968 World Surfing Championship, which was held at Domes and Maria's Beaches. The winter surf along Rincón's coast is some of the best in the region. Generally regarded as one of the best surf spots across the globe, Rincón draws surfers from around the world and is the center of the island's surf scene. Dubbed the "Caribbean's Hawaii," winter waves here can approach 25–30 feet (6.7m) in height, sometimes equaling the force of the surf on Oahu's north shore. Famed surfing beaches in town include Little Malibu, Tres Palmas, Maria's, Indicators, Domes, Pools, Sandy Beach and Antonio's. The best time to surf is from November through March, but summer storms can also kick up the surf during the late summer.

Ту
Эваристо Кардона Морено салған және жобалаған, ал суретшілік жұмысын Хосе Луис Кардона Мартинес (оның үлкен ұлы) орындаған. Ринкон туының түстері – қызыл, қызғылт сары, сары, жасыл және ақ. Үшбұрышта қалалық аймасты көрсететін бес қабырғалы ақ жұлдыз бар. 9 барионы бейнелейтін бірдей өлшемдегі ақ жұлдыздар бар. Қызыл және қызғылт сары түстер халқының сергектігі мен күш-қуатын символдайды. Сары түс христиан дінін, жасыл түс өсімдіктерді және дамуға деген үмітті, ал ақ түс бариолары мен қалалық аймақ арасындағы бірлікті білдіреді.
Created and designed by Evaristo Cardona Moreno and art performed by Jose Luis Cardona Martinez (his eldest son). The colors of the Rincón flag are red, orange, yellow, green and white. The triangle has a five pointed white star representing the urban zone. There are white stars of equal size which represent the 9 barrios. The red and orange symbolize the vitality and vigor of its people. The yellow symbolizes Christianity, the green symbolizes vegetation and hope for progress and the white symbolizes the integrity between its barrios and urban zone.
Елтаңба
Ангел Л. Кардона Морено жасаған және жобалаған қалқан, испандық гербтің жасыл және қызғылт сары түстерінде, сары жолағы солдан оңға қарай еңкейген. Оң жақтағы жасыл түсті фонға христиандықтың символы – айқыш бейнеленген. Сол жақтағы қызғылт сары түсті фонға Пуэрто-Риконың ашылуының символы – испандық кеме суреті салынған (бұл жайтқа қатысты дау көп, себебі Агуада, Рикон және Аняско қалаларының бәрі де алғашқыдан кіру нүктесі екенін мәлімдейді).
Created and designed by Angel L. Cardona Moreno, the shield consists of a green and orange Spanish blazon, with a yellow band inclined left to right. To the right and on a green background a cross, symbol of Christendom. To the left and on an orange background a Spanish ship, symbol of the discovery of Puerto Rico, in the coasts of Rincón (this is greatly disputed, as the towns of Aguada, Rincón, and Añasco all claim entry point status).
