Los Ranchos de Babosico was founded prior to the mid 1700s. Babosico is also the name of a tributary of the Yaque river. The first mention of the location was in April 5, 1769 where a royal protection was placed under Juan Suriel, vecino de Santiago, issued for the "sitio de Babosico" by Ruperto Vicente de Luyando, del consejo de Su Majestad, oidor y alcalde del crimen de la Real Audiencia y Cancillería de Santo Domingo y juez general subdelegado de realengos. The teritorial limits are described:
“desde las cabezadas de Gurabo, todo el camino real hasta las cabezadas de zalalla; y de las cabezadas de Zalaya á el Charco del Asijar; Bao arriba hasta la boca de Gurabo; todo Gurabo hasta las cabezadas donde se comenzó”
The primary occupations of people living in Los Ranchos de Babosico was farming and ranching with large herds of cattle or pigs. Wealthy land owners such as Nicolás Fernández Torres (died 1816) and Luisa Gerez (died 1806) owned land, livestock, and slaves in Babosico as well as neighboring communities from the late 1700s to the beginning of the 1800s. Nicolás Fernández was noted as owning a slave in Los Ranchos de Babosico named Ramón in 1776, aged 11-12 of the congolese ethnicity for which he paid 11 pesos, 1 silver real, and 11 copper maravedies for evading taxes on his importation.
In 1875, Los Ranchos de Babosico was represented in a census. The location was divided into four sections one for Las Charcas, one for Buenavista, and two for Bahabosico. Of the later two sections, one area was under alcalde Juan de Mata Tavera and the other area was under alcalde Marcelino Alejo. Tavera's section of Babosico had a total of 194 people living there (48 men, 40 women, 53 male children, and 53 female children). Alejo's section of Babosico had a total of 226 people living there (50 men, 50 women, 60 male children, and 66 female children). There was a combined population of 420 people living in Babosico.
