Christopher Columbus first went ashore on October 12, 1492, on an island in the Bahamas, which he named San Salvador. This landing marked the first encounter between Europeans and the Americas during Columbus's first voyage. The exact location of San Salvador is still debated, but it is generally believed to be one of the islands in the present-day Bahamas.
