The first recorded hurricane was near Hispaniola in 1495. This was encountered by Christopher Columbus on his voyage to the New World. The first US named hurricane was Hurricane George, in 1947. US meteorologists working in the Pacific Ocean began naming tropical cyclones during World War 2, when they often had to track multiple storms.
