    Columbus set sail with the idea of discovering a sea route to the Indies. Thus, when he landed on San Salvador, he named the inhabitants Indios (Indians.) Historians have believed that Columbus first made landfall in the New World on the island of San Salvador, on 12 October 1492. Today, some historians are not sure that the first landing was on San Salvador.
