EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY
Carmen is an interior town located near the center of the island. It used to be called "Imbaya"
after the name of a brook in the community. The town used to be part of Bilar. When it was made an
independent municipality, it was changed to Carmen supposedly in honor of a woman who was said to be
a popular figure in the community.
