Cayey means lugar de las aguas (place of water) in the Indian language. The town is located in a fertile valley in the south of the Cordillera Central in La Sierra de Cayey. A number of rivers descend from the mountains in this area.
In the past, Cayey was an important coffee and tobacco center. Today, the University of Puerto Rico has a major campus in Cayey, featuring a number of avant-garde programs like the women's studies project (Projecto-Pro-mujer).
