{{Main|Irish immigration to Puerto Rico}}
Irish immigrants played an instrumental role in Puerto Rico's economy. One of the most important industries of the island was the sugar industry. Among the successful businessmen in this industry were Miguel Conway, who owned a plantation in the town of [[Hatillo, Puerto Rico|Hatillo]] and Juan Nagle whose plantation was located in [[Río Piedras]]. General [[Alexander O'Reilly]], "Father of the Puerto Rican Militia", named Tomas O'Daly chief engineer of modernising the defences of San Juan, this included the fortress of [[Fort San Cristóbal (Puerto Rico)|San Cristóbal]].<ref name = "Irish"/> Tomas O'Daly and Miguel Kirwan were partners in the "Hacienda San Patricio", which they named after the [[patron saint]] of Ireland, [[Saint Patrick]]. A relative of O'Daly, [[Demetrio O'Daly]], succeeded Captain [[Ramon Power y Giralt]] as the island's delegate to the Spanish Courts. The plantation no longer exists; however, the land in which the plantation was located is now a San Patricio suburb with a shopping mall by the same name. The Quinlan family established two plantations, one in the town of [[Toa Baja, Puerto Rico|Toa Baja]] and the other in [[Loíza, Puerto Rico|Loíza]].<ref>[http://www.rootsweb.com/~prsanjua/reme.htm Remembering the Past] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070304084419/http://www.rootsweb.com/~prsanjua/reme.htm |date= 4 March 2007 }}</ref> Puerto Ricans of Irish descent were also instrumental in the development of the island's tobacco industry.
