Development
Development
Due to their proximity, the growth of Gurabo is tied with that of Santiago de los Caballeros. Historically, Gurabo was quite rural with agricultural, industrial, commercial, and textile sectors. Today, it retains these sectors along with many housing developments, which began in the late 1990s as populations grew. This has led to Gurabo being considered a satellite city of Santiago.
