Goats have been domesticated by man for thousands of years, so Christopher Columbus brought goats with him when he landed in the "New World" in 1493. Of course, there was no US then. When the first settlers arrived in North America, they brought goats with them. One type of goat, the milch goat, was brought to the continent by Captain John Smith on the Mayflower. Swiss breeds of goat, together with animals from Spain and Austria, were brought to North America between the 1590s and 1700.
