THE ISLANDS
Never.There is no such official geographic or state entity as the U.S. Virgin Islands. The correct legal name is "Virgin Islands" and were so name by Christopher Columbus in 1493 on his second voyage to the "New World" in honor of St. Ursula and her 11,000 martyred virgin handmaidens."U.S. Virgin Islands" is simply a nick-name with no legal status that is used to let people know that the Islands belong to the United States and are not the British Virgin Islands.Noteworthy Fact: Salt River on St. Croix, Virgin Islands, is the only place in United States of America that Columbus visited.
There are more than six Virgin Islands.There are 62 Virgin Islands under the U.S. flag. Four are in the District of St. Croix and 58 are in the District of St. Thomas-St. John.The proper name of the islands is Virgin Islands. The phrase "U.S. Virgin Islands" is a nickname used so that visitors understand that we are part of the United States of America and do not confuse us with the British Virgin Islands.Source: Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources
