Isabela was formed on May 21, 1819. Since then, the city has had continuous growth. A 2000 census demonstrated that there are 41,000 people living in Isabela.
One of Isabela's main industries is tourism, because Isabela is a coastal city. Most tourists who visit Isabela each year are domestic tourists; however, a number of international tourists use Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, about four hours by car from Isabela, to reach the city. A smaller number use the Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, about one hour away by car, to reach the city. Other nearby towns include Mayagüez, Utuado and Aguada.
Apart from tourism, Isabela is also known for its Puerto Rican plates and for other economic resources.
