Until 1986, when the National Geographic Society suggested Samana Cay, it was widely believed that during his first expedition to the New World, San Salvador Island was the first land sighted and visited by Christopher Columbus on October 12, 1492.
For some time, San Salvador was the home of the buccaneer John Watling (alternately referred to as George Watling), who gave the island its alternative name by which it was officially known until 1925.
At that time, the name "San Salvador" was transferred from another place, now called Cat Island, Bahamas, and given to "Watling Island" under the belief that it seemed a much more likely match for Columbus's description of Guanahani.
