The first known owner of Hacienda Luciana was Juan Antonio Rodriguez as evidenced by the 1910 Annual Report of the Governor of Puerto Rico which, in a list of water right concessions granted, includes one to Juan Antonio Rodriguez granted on December 23,1848 for Hacienda Luciana.  José Pou Pecamius acquired Hacienda Luciana from the estate of Rodriguez and on July 3, 1854 Juan Forgas Bayó (1810-1885) acquired the then approximately three hundred cuerdas Hacienda Luciana from Pou Pecamius.

While Forgas Bayó lived in Barcelona, Spain, his legal representative responsible to manage his affairs in Puerto Rico was his nephew José Gallart Forgas (1838-1898).  Gallart Forgas was born in La Bisbal d´Empordà, Catalonia Spain.  He came to Puerto Rico and established residence in Ponce where he married Julia Dubocq Roux the daughter of Julio Esteban Dubocq owner of Hacienda Unión.  After the death of Julia, in 1888 he married Mercedes Folch Parellada (1860-1936) in Barcelona.  Forgas Bayó died in Caldes d’Estrac, Catalonia, in January 1885.  In his will, he left his properties in Puerto Rico to his nephew José Gallart Forgas.  In August 1884, Gallart Forgas left Puerto Rico for good and returned to live in Barcelona.  There he tended to Forgas Bayó's interest as principal equity partner in the shipping firm J. B. Morera & Cia. and remotely managed the businesses in Puerto Rico through appointed representatives.

Per certification issued by the Municipality of Ponce on June 3, 1893 found in José Gallart Forgas Personal File at the Spanish Senate where he was Senator for the Province of Puerto Rico, the following haciendas were registered in the name of José Gallart Forgas by inheritance from Juan Forgas Bayó: (1) Hacienda Cristina in Juana Diaz consisting of 712 cuerdas, (2) Hacienda Luciana in Juana Diaz consisting of 751 cuerdas and, (3) Hacienda Fortuna in Ponce consisting of 1,460 cuerdas of which 144 were sold by Gallart Forgas to Ramón Vazquez León prior to 1893.

Forgas Bayó became 100% owner of Cristina, of which there are no remains standing today, by acquiring 33% interest in 1863 from José Maria Alfonso, 37% interest in 1865 from Spanish immigrant Mariano Villaronga Román, 25% interest  from Cristina Villaronga and 5% from Joaquin Pastor Márquez in 1866.

From the above certification we deduct that Gallart Forgas acquired Central Reparada on his own but we do not know why it does not include Hacienda Serrano which to the best of our knowledge had not been sold yet to La Compagnie des Sucreries de Porto Rico.  However, in several certifications of taxes paid for 1990-91, 1991-92 and 1992-93 included in the same personal file, reference is made to Reparada, Fortuna, Cristina, Luciana and Serrano.

The case Russell & Company S. en C. v. Henna Et Al decided by the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico on July 16, 1918 states that Russell & Co. acquired Fortuna Estates who in turn was owner of four tracts of land in Juana Diaz named Fortuna, Cristina, Luciana and Serrano each with rights to take water from the Jacaguas River for irrigation purposes.  It also states that the grant to Serrano dated from 1845, Fortuna from 1841, Luciana from 1848 and Cristina from 1852.

Russell & Company S. en C. was a related company to the South Porto Rico Sugar Co.  In the 1916 Report by the Commission of Industrial Relation on the Island, it is reported that at the time Hacienda Luciana was owned by the Guanica Central.  

Today the remains are abandoned and not in use, the surrounding property is being used by a n agency of the Juana Diaz municipal government.  The drone photos in the gallery below were taken November 2021 and made available thanks to the courtesy of Carlos Alemán.
