Columbus first landed on an island he named San Salvador in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492. While he did explore several locations in the Caribbean, La Navidad, which he established on Hispaniola, was not his first landing. The "ragged islands" likely refer to the islands he encountered during his journey, but San Salvador is recognized as his initial landing site.
