Hacienda Pons was originally known as Hacienda Buena Vista, owned by Spanish immigrant from Mallorca Salvador Pons Coll (1858- ) who arrived in Puerto Rico in 1879.  It was contiguous to lands of Hacienda Castañer and at one point in time was acquired from Pons by Castañer Hnos. or Sucrs. de Castañer Hnos S en C.  According to the 1910 census records Salvador Pons Coll was a coffee farmer in Barrio Salto Arriba of Utuado. 

Sucrs. de Castañer Hnos. S en C was established in 1898 by Juan Castañer Anglada when he decided to follow his brother Antonio and retire in their native Sóller, Mallorca.  At that point, Ramón Castañer Velez the natural son of Juan, became the administrator of Scres. de Castañer Hnos. S en C.  During his administration, Ramón needed help in the administration of the family businesses and made Mallorcans Miguel Alemañy Casasnovas (1883- ) who arrived in Puerto Rico in 1897 and Pedro Pons Arbona (1877-1953) who arrived in Puerto Rico in 1892, partners in the firm.

In 1928 Sucrs. de Castañer Hnos. S en C ceased to operate mainly due to the damage caused by Hurricane San Felipe.  In the 1930s large tracts of land in Barrio Bartolo were sold to the Government of Puerto Rico who distributed it in parcels to local people.  The firm was legally dissolved in 1938 when the last of all remaining assets and liabilities were finally distributed among its members.  Hacienda Pons was established in 1936 when as a result of the dissolution of Sucrs. de Castañer Hnos. S en C the old Hacienda Buena Vista was awarded to Pedro Pons Arbona. 

Today Hacienda Pons is managed by José Pons, grandson of Pedro Pons Arbona.  It produces the Café Bartolo brand coffee named in honor of Barrio Bartolo where it is located on PR-128 km 57.7.

No relationship has been identified between Salvador Pons Coll and Pedro Pons Arbona.
