There are many important dates in Puerto Rico's history. These include being claimed for Spain by Christopher Columbus in 1493, in 1520 the island was officially named Puerto Rico, the US acquisition of Puerto Rico in 1898 and organized it as a territory in 1902. The date in 1917 when Puerto Ricans became full citizens of the US might also be listed.
