| About Puerto Rico | |||||||
|
On September 25, 1493, Christopher Columbus set sail on his second voyage
with 17 ships and 1,200–1,500 men from Cádiz, Spain. On November 19, 1493 he
landed on the island, naming it San Juan Bautista in honor of Saint John
the Baptist. The first settlement, Caparra, was founded on August 8, 1508
by Juan Ponce de León, a lieutenant under Columbus, who later became the
first governor of the island. The following year, the settlement was
abandoned in favor of a nearby islet on the coast, named Puerto Rico (Rich
Port), which had a suitable harbor. In 1511, a second settlement, San Germán, was established in the southwestern part of the island. During the
1520s, the island took the name of Puerto Rico while the port became San
Juan. The Spaniards had the earliest and greatest influence to the Island at their arrival in 1493. During their 400-year tenure the Spaniards laid the bedrock of the language and culture. They built cities and towns, fortresses and churches, lighthouses and roadways. They brought slaves from Africa to work in the fields, who, in turn, contributed the spice of their culture, enriching the language, music and diets. Both Spanish and English are the official languages, the local currency is the U.S. dollar, and no visas or passports are required to enter Puerto Rico from the United States by US Citizens. Mail is sent through the US Postal Service at the same rates as on the mainland. Geography Climate
