The La Presa borough is named after the Abelardo L. Rodríguez Dam ("Presa" means "Dam" in English), but actually does not include the dam within its boundaries. The borough should not be confused with the neighborhoods (''colonias'') that have La Presa in their name northwest of the dam; those form part of the

Centenario (borough) on the north and
Cerro Colorado (borough) on the west.
