Christopher Columbus did not establish any permanent colonies in the New World himself. However, he made four voyages between 1492 and 1504, during which he claimed various territories for Spain, notably in the Bahamas and Hispaniola. The first Spanish settlement, La Isabela, was established in 1493 during his second voyage but was ultimately short-lived.
