In the 1600s, the Spanish moved their posts to neighboring islands, such as Puerto Rico and Cuba, and the Spanish destroyed much of the existing city. In the 1740s, Spanish families emigrated from the Canary Islands to Puerto Plata and decided to rebuild the city. The area thrived on its natural port and the tobacco boom of the era. The area continued to grow into the biggest city on the North Coast and in the 1970s tourism became an important aspect of the area, with numerous options for visitors and it remains so today.
