"History Knowledge" About the Dominican Republic
History: The Dominican Republic was originally founded in 1492 by Columbus on his first voyage. Columbus first named it La Española. The capital, Santo Domingo, was founded in 1496 and it is, to this day, the oldest European settlement in the Western Hemisphere. In 1822, Hatians took control of the country, but by 1844, they were conquered and thrown out. This was the year the Dominican Republic was formed. Democracy finally took place in 1962, and has continued since.
