cayey
town, central Cayey Mountains, Puerto Rico. The town, at an altitude of 1,300 feet (400 metres), was founded in 1773 as Cayey de Muesas on the Spanish military highway linking San Juan with Ponce on the southern coast; its cool summers made it a favourite Spanish military post. It is recognized by its twin peaks, the Teats of Cayey, which were formed by volcanic activity. Cayey University College, affiliated with the University of Puerto Rico, was founded in 1967.
