		The name Lares (LAH-res) is derived from the Basque names "laris" or "lariz" determined by the presence in the region of don Amador Lariz, a colonizer of the sixteeth century that owned a ranch in the area.
		In 1946, the Puerto Rico Planification Board broadened the urban zone of of the City of Lares with parts of Barrio Pueblo and Barrio Lares (wards).
		Thus, the municipal flag of Lares is none other than the historical flag proposed by the patriarch Dr. Ramon Emeterio Betances for the Republic of Puerto Rico, and that has been named "Flag of Lares" due to the fact that it had been hoisted by the revolutionaries on September 23, 1868.

	Grito de Lares - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		El Grito de Lares (The Cry of Lares) —also referred as the Lares uprising, the Lares revolt, Lares rebellion or even Lares Revolution - refers to the revolt against Spanish rule in Puerto Rico which occurred on September 23, 1868, in the town of Lares, Puerto Rico.
		Puerto Rico also suffered at the time a severe economic crisis due to increasing tariffs and taxes imposed by a mercantilist Spain on most import and export goods — the Spanish Crown badly needed these funds to subsidize its troops in an effort to regain control of the Dominican Republic.
		De Diego, for instance, requested the foundation of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (which he proposed to the Puerto Rican Legislative Assembly) to occur on 23 September 1911, as to coincide with the Grito.

		Soon, revolutionary committees were formed throughout Puerto Rico to organize for an eventual revolt among all sectors of the population.
		Lares was chosen for the initial attack by the patriots because of what was believed to be a strategically advantageous location.
		The “Society for the Independence of Cuba and Puerto Rico,” founded in the 1860s by exiled revolutionaries living in New York City, and the close connection and coordination with Lares combatants in the “Grito de Yara” uprising against Spanish rule in Cuba (three weeks after the Grito de Lares) are such examples.

	Filiberto Ojeda Rios Puerto Rican Sovereignty
		Because of the way Puerto Rican history is not taught, far too many people do not fully understand the social and political context out of which such events as the assassination of Filiberto Ojeda Rios by FBI agents in Puerto Rico (September 23, 2005) takes place.
		Ever since he began dedicating his life to the independence of Puerto Rico, Filiberto had become one more contributing factor in the historical continuum of Puerto Rican struggles that date back at least to the 18th Century and that continues, however presently fragmented, straight through into tomorrow.
		The Constituent Laws that governed the CRP specifically included a Puerto Rican Section—meaning to say that once Cuba was free, the intention of the organizers was to immediately extend their war into Puerto Rico.
