Pirates did not "discover" Port Royal, Jamaica, but the area became a notorious pirate haven in the late 17th century. Established in 1494 by Christopher Columbus, Port Royal developed into a bustling port city, attracting pirates and privateers, especially after the English seized Jamaica from Spain in 1655. The city's peak as a pirate stronghold occurred in the 1660s and 1670s, before a devastating earthquake in 1692 significantly diminished its prominence.
