Введение
Ринкон (Rincón) — популярный пляжный город и муниципалитет Пуэрто-Рико, основанный в 1771 году Доном Луисом де Аняско, который ранее основал Аняско в 1733 году. Он расположен в Западной прибрежной долине, к западу от Аняско и Агуады. Ринкон занимает 9 баррио и Ринкон-Пуэбло (центр города и административный центр муниципалитета). Он входит в состав агломерации Агуадилья – Исабела – Сан-Себастьян. В муниципалитете находится множество пляжей для серфинга в Пуэрто-Рико, включая Domes, Marias, Tres Palmas, Sandy Beach, Pools Beach, Córcega Beach и Rincón Town Beach. Слово "Rincón" означает "укромный уголок" на кастильском испанском языке. Ринкон расположен на севере, на самой западной оконечности Пуэрто-Рико. По сравнению с остальной частью острова, в Ринконе проживает значительное количество неиспаноязычных белых (в основном из континентальной части Соединенных Штатов и Соединенного Королевства). Город подвержен сильной джентрификации из-за притока населения из материковой части США (как пуэрториканцев, так и неиспаноязычных), что приводит к росту арендной платы и цен на другие товары, такие как продукты питания, по сравнению с соседними городами.

Ринкон был основан в 1771 году Доном Луисом де Аняско. В 1885 году Бенито Кумпиано был мэром Ринкона, а в 1890 году — Виктор Кумпиано. После испано-американской войны Пуэрто-Рико было передано Испании по условиям Парижского договора 1898 года и стало территорией Соединенных Штатов. В 1899 году военное ведомство Соединенных Штатов провело перепись населения Пуэрто-Рико, по результатам которой население Ринкона составило 6641 человек. 20 сентября 2017 года ураган Мария обрушился на остров Пуэрто-Рико. В Ринконе была повреждена инфраструктура, около 400 домов были повреждены или полностью разрушены. Сильные дожди и ветер вызвали многочисленные оползни. Штормовой нагон принес в дома на побережье 1,2 метра воды.

Ринкон расположен на западном побережье Пуэрто-Рико, на самой западной оконечности. Обновленные карты зон затопления (по состоянию на 2019 год) показывают, что Ринкон, наряду с Хумакао, Тоа-Баха, Барселонетой и Коросалем, особенно уязвим для наводнений. Из-за высокого уровня эрозии Ринкон уязвим в случае сильного урагана.

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.

Специальные сообщества
Специальные сообщества Пуэрто-Рико (Comunidades Especiales de Puerto Rico) – это маргинализированные сообщества, жители которых сталкиваются с определенной степенью социальной исключенности. Карта показывает, что такие сообщества встречаются почти во всех муниципалитетах Содружества. Из 742 населенных пунктов, включенных в список в 2014 году, в Ринконе находились следующие баррио, общины, сектора или районы: La Playa Sector в Барреро, Cerro Los Pobres, El Pico в Аталайе, Hoyo Caliente и Parcelas Stella.
Comunidades Especiales de Puerto Rico (Special Communities of Puerto Rico) are marginalized communities whose citizens are experiencing a certain amount of social exclusion. A map shows these communities occur in nearly every municipality of the commonwealth. Of the 742 places that were on the list in 2014, the following barrios, communities, sectors, or neighborhoods were in Rincón: La Playa Sector in Barrero, Cerro Los Pobres, El Pico in Atalaya, Hoyo Caliente, and Parcelas Stella.
Экономика
Чемпионат мира по серфингу 1968 года проходил на пляже Домес в Ринконе. С тех пор Ринкон привлекает серферов со всего мира. Экономика Ринкона основана на туризме и также предлагает дайвинг, сноркелинг и красивые закаты. Ринкон также стал местом для открытия офисов интернет-компаний. В 2007 году в Ринконе проходил чемпионат мира ISA World Masters, где местный серфер Хуан Эштон завоевал первое место в категории Masters.
The 1968 World Surfing Championship was held at Domes Beach in Rincón. Since then, surfers from around the world have been visiting Rincón. Rincón has a tourism economy which also boasts scuba diving, snorkeling, and sunsets. Rincón has also been an area for internet based companies to set up shop. In 2007, Rincón was the site for the ISA World Masters where local surfer Juan Ashton won first place in the Masters division.
Сельское хозяйство
Фрукты и сахарный тростник — основные сельскохозяйственные культуры Ринкона. Также распространено разведение крупного рогатого скота.
Fruits and sugarcane are the primary sources of agriculture in Rincón. Cattle ranching also is popular.
Промышленность
Основная отрасль Рикона — туризм. Кипящий ядерный сверхнагреватель (БОНУС), также известный местным жителям как «Купола», — это выведенная из эксплуатации атомная электростанция. Строительство БОНУС началось в 1960 году, а первая управляемая ядерная цепная реакция произошла 13 апреля 1964 года, и в сентябре 1965 года реактор достиг полной мощности. Эксплуатация реактора БОНУС была прекращена в июне 1968 года из-за технических трудностей и последовавшей за этим необходимости дорогостоящей модернизации. Была проведена общая дезактивация реактора с целью соответствия критериям не ограниченного использования во всех доступных помещениях здания. Остаточные радиоактивные материалы, оставшиеся в конструкции, были изолированы или экранированы для защиты посетителей и персонала. В последующие годы в отдельных частях здания было обнаружено дополнительное радиоактивное загрязнение, и в 1990-х и начале 2000-х годов были проведены дополнительные работы по очистке и экранированию. По состоянию на 2020 год 5,1% населения не имеют латиноамериканского происхождения, что делает Рикон муниципалитетом с наименьшей долей латиноамериканцев на материковой части Пуэрто-Рико. Это увеличение по сравнению с 2010 годом, когда только 3,6% населения не были латиноамериканцами.
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-прогулка", общественная инициатива, направленная на укрепление социальных связей в Ринконе, проходит каждый четверг. Местные жители и туристы собираются на главной городской площади Plaza de Recreo в центре Ринкона, чтобы насладиться едой, напитками, музыкой и произведениями местных художников.
"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.

Ринкон широко известен как место для серфинга. Мировую известность Ринкон получил благодаря чемпионату мира по серфингу 1968 года, который проходил на пляжах Домес и Марияс. Зимний серфинг вдоль побережья Ринкона считается одним из лучших в регионе. Ринкон, общепризнанный как одно из лучших мест для серфинга во всем мире, привлекает серферов со всего света и является центром серф-культуры острова. Этот регион, часто называемый "Карибскими Гавайями", зимой может похвастаться волнами высотой до 7,6–9 метров, которые порой по силе не уступают волнам северного побережья Оаху. Среди известных серф-пляжей в городе – Литтл Малибу, Трес-Пальмас, Марияс, Индикаторы, Домес, Пулс, Сэнди-Бич и Антониос. Лучшее время для серфинга – с ноября по март, однако летние штормы также могут поднимать волны в конце лета.
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.
Правительство
Как и все муниципалитеты Пуэрто-Рико, Ринкон управляется мэром. Действующий мэр – Карлос Лопес Бонилья из Народно-демократической партии (PPD). Лопес был избран на всеобщих выборах 2000 года. Город входит в IV сенаторский округ Пуэрто-Рико, который представляют два сенатора. В 2016 году Луис Даниэль Муньис Кортес и Эвелин Васкес были избраны сенаторами этого округа.
Like all municipalities in Puerto Rico, Rincón is administered by a mayor. The current mayor is Carlos López Bonilla, from the Popular Democratic Party (PPD). López was elected at the 2000 general election. The city belongs to the Puerto Rico Senatorial district IV, which is represented by two senators. In 2016, Luis Daniel Muñiz Cortés and Evelyn Vázquez were elected as district senators.

Флаг
Создан и спроектирован Эваристо Кардона Морено, а художественное оформление выполнил Хосе Луис Кардона Мартинес (его старший сын). Цвета флага Ринкона – красный, оранжевый, жёлтый, зелёный и белый. На треугольнике изображена пятиконечная белая звезда, символизирующая городскую зону. Равные по размеру белые звёзды представляют девять районов. Красный и оранжевый цвета символизируют жизненную силу и энергию его народа. Жёлтый цвет символизирует христианство, зелёный – растительность и надежду на прогресс, а белый – единство между его районами и городской зоной.
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.
Герб
Созданный и разработанный Анхелом Л. Кардоной Морено, щит состоит из испанского геральдического оформления в зеленых и оранжевых тонах, с желтой полосой, идущей слева направо под наклоном. Справа, на зеленом фоне – крест, символ христианства. Слева, на оранжевом фоне – испанский корабль, символ открытия Пуэрто-Рико, у берегов Рикона (этот вопрос вызывает споры, так как города Агуада, Рикон и Аняско все претендуют на звание места первой высадки).
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).
