Christopher Columbus famously "discovered" the New World on October 12, 1492, when he landed on an island in the Bahamas, which he named San Salvador. This event marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Columbus's voyages were significant in connecting Europe and the Americas, although he was not the first European to reach the continent.
