The Isabella and Ferdinand-commissioned voyage whose 1492 landfall on Hispaniola made the island the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, and the testing ground that Spain would impose across an entire hemisphere.
Crown of Castile's rule over Hispaniola (1492-1516) — the foundational colonial moment when Columbus's first settlement of La Navidad and then La Isabela established European presence in the Americas for the first time, making the island Spain's laboratory for everything that followed. The Taíno people, who numbered in the hundreds of thousands at contact, were devastated within a generation by disease, forced gold-mining labor, and violence — the first catastrophic collision of the Old and New Worlds. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Hispaniola landfall and Crown of Castile Dominican heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
