12/06/1492 AD arrived
Christopher Columbus first landed at Hispaniola at a small bay he named San Nicolas, now called Môle-Saint-Nicolas on the north coast of present-day Haiti.
He was welcomed in a friendly fashion by the indigenous people known as the Taíno. Trading with the natives yielded more gold than they had come across previously on the other Caribbean islands and Columbus was led to believe that much more gold would be found inland.
