Daftar julukan kota di Puerto Rico
Daftar julukan kota di Puerto Rico ini mengandung samaran, julukan, dan slogan yang disematkan kepada beberapa kota di Puerto Rico (resmi dan tidak resmi) oleh pemerintah kota, masyarakat setempat, orang asing, badan pariwisata, atau kamar dagang. Julukan kota berperan sebagai perintis identitas lokal, membantu orang asing mengenali masyarakat setempat, atau mengajak orang berkunjung karena julukannya khas; mengangkat martabat daerah; dan mempersatukan masyarakat.[1] Julukan dan slogan yang berubah menjadi "ideologi atau mitos" baru[2] juga diyakini memiliki potensi ekonomi.[1] Potensi ekonominya sulit diukur,[1] tetapi ada beberapa kota yang memakai slogan baru untuk memasarkan/mencitrakan diri dan memanfaatkan potensi ekonomi tersebut.[2]

The City is known as "The Noble City" because of the aristocratic (Señorial is derived from Señor, Spanish for "Sir") look of the Spanish colonial architecture of its homes introduced by wealthy landlords in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century. Note: There is no exact translation into English of the Spanish word "Señorial". Thus, some authors also translate it into "The Majestic City." Retrieved November 25, 2009.
