Christopher Columbus, the explorer credited with the European discovery of Puerto Rico.
Juan Ponce de León, Santervás de Campos, Valladolid, Spain, was the first governor of Puerto Rico. His grandson Juan Ponce de Leon
II was the first indigenous governor of Puerto Rico.
On September 24, 1493, Christopher Columbus set sail on his second voyage with 17 ships and 1,200 to 1,500 soldiers from Cádiz.
On November 19, 1493, he landed on the island, naming it San Juan Bautista in honor of Saint John the Baptist. The first European
colony, Caparra, was founded on August 8, 1508, by Juan Ponce de León, a lieutenant under Columbus, who was greeted by the Taíno
