Vicente Julbe (c. 1800 – c. 1860) was Mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico, from 1 October 1851[1] to 14 February 1854.[a][2] He was a Spanish military officer with the rank of Coronel.[3]
Julbe is remembered for an edict he issued in October 1852. It stipulated that all homeowners were responsible for building a sidewalk in front of the houses. The sidewalk was to be 45 inches wide, have a slight inclination towards the street for rain water runoff, and be made of bricks.[4]
