native of Moca, Puerto Rico


Explanation:
Hi mfuchs,
Moca is a city in Puerto Rico, a "mocana" is a female native of that place.

"Fundación de Moca:
Siendo gobernador de Puerto Rico el Coronel Español, Don Miguel de Muesas, los habitantes del pueblo de Moca solicitaron que se les diera autonomía política de la villa de Aguada. El permiso le fue conferido el 22 de junio del 1772.

Como era común en aquellos tiempos, las familias mocanas, en su gran mayoría, vivían alrededor de la plaza pública. Al norte de la plaza, sobre la colina, que aún existe, se levanta la Iglesia Parroquial bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora, Santa María de la Monserrate y San Juan Nepomuceno. La devoción a la Monserrate se originó en Cataluña, España. La de San Juan Nepomuceno proviene de Praga, antigua ciudad europea."

Good luck from Oso ¶:^)
