Christopher Columbus landed on his second voyage in 1493 and gave the island the name Antigua.
Antigua was named by the Portuguese Explorer Christopher Columbus, who dubbed the island "Santa Maria de la Antigua." However, it is also locally referred to as "Wadadli," which was the name used by the Arawak Indians who once inhabited the island.
