Hacienda La Julia was established  ca. 1861 in Barrio Benavento outside the town of Hormigueros as Hacienda Emoción de Amor by brothers Manuel Maria (1840-1907) and Liborio Padilla Rivera (1840-1924) of San Germán.  It was acquired ca. 1891 by Joaquin Servera Nazario (1837-1912) and his wife Apolonia Silva, of which marriage four children were born, Francisco Servera Silva, Joaquin Servera Silva, Julia Servera Silva (1877- ) and Guillermina Servera Silva.

According to a Facebook post by Lillian Elaine Abudo Marín, granddaughter of Joaquín Servera Silva, Hacienda La Julia was given to his daughter Julia as a wedding gift when she married Hector Comolli. Joaquin Servera Nazario also owned Hacienda La Guillermina which was given to his daughter Guillermina also as a wedding gift when she married José Abudo y Pou.

In 1891 Joaquín Servera Nazario installed a steam mill, a still and evaporators and annexed additional lands totaling approximately five hundred acres of which some three hundred were planted with sugarcane.  Hacienda La Julia was later acquired by Mateo Fajardo Cardona who made it part of Central Eureka, where its sugarcane was then processed. 

Its chimney has a resemblance to that of Hacienda Buena Unión in nearby Bo. Guamá of San German, but is taller and has six sectional markers as opposed to Buena Union’s four sectional markers.
