Domino Sugar's history in Puerto Rico is deeply intertwined with U.S. colonial expansion, initiated by Charles Herbert Allen, the first U.S. civilian governor, who in 1907 created a major sugar syndicate (later known as Domino). This entity monopolized land, controlling huge sugarcane plantations and processing capacity, heavily impacting the island's economic landscape.

Pedro Albizu Campos famously led the 1934 agricultural strike in Puerto Rico, where he successfully advocated for increasing sugar field workers' wages from 45 cents to $1.50 per 12-hour day.
