The first governor of Hispaniola was Nicolás de Ovando, appointed by the Spanish Crown in 1502. He played a significant role in establishing Spanish colonial rule on the island, implementing policies that affected the indigenous Taíno population and promoting the development of settlements. Ovando's tenure marked a critical period in the early history of Spanish colonization in the Americas.
