Christopher Columbus first arrived at the island of Hispaniola on 06 December 1492, during his first voyage to the Americas. The exact date may vary slightly in different historical accounts due to differences between the Julian calendar, which was in use at the time, and the Gregorian calendar, which is now the standard calendar.
Hispaniola is an island in the Caribbean that is divided into two countries: the Dominican Republic to the east and Haiti to the west. Columbus's landing on Hispaniola marked a significant moment in the Age of Exploration, as it was one of the first encounters between the Old World and the New World during Columbus's voyages sponsored by Spain.
