Christopher Columbus lived long before the United States was established. He arrived in the Bahamas in 1492. The US was established in 1776.
The West Indies were inhabited by indigenous peoples when Christopher Columbus arrived. These included the Taino in the Bahamas and Cuba, the Caribs in the Lesser Antilles, and the Arawak in the Greater Antilles.
Technically, Columbus never arrived in what is now mainland America. However his first voyage across the Atlantic was in 1492. There's a handy rhyme: Columbus sailed the ocean blue, in fourteen hundred and ninety-two. He hit the Bahamas and thought he was in India
Arrived in 1492
Christopher Columbus is often credited with discovering America on October 12, 1492. However, it is important to note that indigenous people were already living in the Americas before Columbus arrived.
