For much of the 20th century, the common belief was that Columbus first landed on San Salvador Island (not to be confused with San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador). But in 1986, National Geographic researcher Joseph Judge, after new evidence and calculations, declared that Guanahani was actually what is now called Samana Cay, about 65 miles southeast of San Salvador Island. His declaration was controversial, and the debate about where Columbus first set foot in the Americas still continues.

Columbus was an explorer under the Spanish flag who rediscovered the Americas for the Europeans by landing at the San Salvador, Bahamas.

Christopher Columbus:

  • Led an expedition to reach India by sailing west instead of East
  • Ended up rediscovering the Americas
  • Thought he had landed in India

When he landed on the Bahamas, Columbus first thought he had reached India but eventually realized his folly. He then claimed the lands for the Spanish crown.

In conclusion, Columbus landed at the present day Bahamas.
