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.
La Navidad was the 1st settlement of Columbus, if that's what you're looking for... :)
Columbus's first colony, La Navidad, established in 1492 on Hispaniola, met a tragic fate. Upon his return in 1493, Columbus found that the settlement had been destroyed, and the Spanish settlers had been killed by the indigenous Taíno people, who were likely retaliating against the harsh treatment they received from the colonists. The destruction of La Navidad underscored the challenges of establishing European settlements in the Americas and set a precedent for future conflicts between colonizers and indigenous populations.
