George Watling made a base at San Salvador Island - The Bahama's, and the Island came to be called "Watling Island" until 1925 when it was re-named San Salvador. San Salvador was named by Christopher Columbus, this is the island where Columbus made his first landfall in the new world in 1492. The remains of Watlings residence called "Watling Castle" remain on a hill in the Southeast Section of San Salvador Island. There is a main house, kitchen building where the stove and fireplace still stand, and down the hill, outside of a stone wall, the slave quarters.

What was San Salvador named after?
The United Kingdom gained control of what are now The Bahamas in the early 1700s. For some time, San Salvador was the home of John Watling (alternately referred to as George Watling), who gave the island its alternative name by which it was officially known until 1925. At that time, the name "San Salvador" was transferred from another place, now called Cat Island, and given to "Watling Island" under the belief that it seemed a much more likely match for Columbus' description of Guanahani.
