Discovery of Puerto Rico

1493. The island was discovered by Columbus on his second journey. Natives used to call it borinquen, and the discoverer named it after San Juan Baptist in tribute to Don Juan the Prince of Asturias.
The island was formerly inhabited by tainos, an agricultural people quickly killed off as a consequence of hard working conditions and diseases they had never come down with before and that had been brought by the Spaniards.
