It was the site of the first European colonies founded by Christopher Columbus on his voyages in 1492 and 1493. The southern end of the island was the location of the city. Around the city was a jungle and in the jungle, there was an ancient Aztec temple. The pirate-infested island of Tortuga laid off the coast of this massive island.

- Hispaniola is one of the larger islands of the West Indies. Located east of Cuba and west of Puerto Rico. the island is home to two countries, Haiti, which covers the western portion, and the Dominican Republic, which covers the eastern portion. Covered with several mountain ranges, the island has a tropical climate and several rain forests, though it also has some dry forests and savannah. The island forms the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean to the north, and the Caribbean Sea to the south.

The Hispaniola is captained by Abraham Smollett, with first-mate Samuel Arrow. Rizzo makes some money on the side by charging tourist rats for a Caribbean cruise.
- On March 10, 1496, Columbus left the island for Spain, ending his sixth visit to the Western Hemisphere. Haiti occupies the western third of the island; the eastern two-thirds are the Dominican Republic.

| - Hispaniola is an island in the Caribbean Islands. The island is shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The Dominican Republic was known as Santo Domingo at the time.
- The ship is owned by Squire Trelawney & Son: Master Ship Builders, who financed the voyage to Treasure Island. The ship's figurehead is in the shape of Statler and Waldorf, who occasionally come alive to make snide comments about the crew. The Hispaniola is captained by Abraham Smollett, with first-mate Samuel Arrow. Rizzo makes some money on the side by charging tourist rats for a Caribbean cruise. The crew is hired by Squire Trelawney with the help of Mr. Bimbo and the ship's cook, Long John Silver. The crew turn out to be a group of pirates after Flint's treasure. The pirates mutiny when the ship reaches Treasure Island, planning to take the treasure and leave the captain and his friends marooned on the island. Jim Hawkins, Gonzo, Rizzo, Dr. Livesey, Beaker, the Squire, Mr. Bimbo and Samuel Arrow reclaim the ship by scaring the pirates off with the "ghost of Samuel Arrow". They crash the ship into Treasure Island, rescuing Smollett and Benjamina Gunn. In the end, Smollett and crew take the ship back to England, where the pirates will stand trial for their actions -- except for Long John Silver, who sneaks off in a leaky rowboat.
- On March 10, 1496, Columbus left the island for Spain, ending his sixth visit to the Western Hemisphere. Haiti occupies the western third of the island; the eastern two-thirds are the Dominican Republic. The Taíno called the island Quisqueya (or Kiskeya), a name still in use in both countries. It poetically refers to the Dominican Republic in that country's national anthem, Quisqueyanos valientes. The Spanish rechristened the island Santo Domingo, and the corresponding term Saint-Domingue was taken up by the French. Another indigenous name, Ayiti or variants thereof, was reintroduced in 1804 as the name for independent Haiti. The name Haiti was originally intended to mean the entire island, not just the western part, and in fact the present-day Dominican Republic was known briefly as Spanish Haiti. Bohio is yet a third indigenous name for the island. After the French gained control of the western part of Hispaniola through the Treaty of Ryswick, the western part quickly came to overshadow the east in both wealth and population. Indeed, the population of the Dominican Republic did not overtake that of Haiti until about 1970. Haitians conquered the eastern part of the island on several occasions: in the 1790s under Toussaint Louverture and in 1821-1822 under Jean-Pierre Boyer.

Covered with several mountain ranges, the island has a tropical climate and several rain forests, though it also has some dry forests and savannah. The island forms the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean to the north, and the Caribbean Sea to the south. The island was home to native Taino settlements when it was discovered by the Spanish in 1492. The Spanish colonized the island, starting on the eastern side of the island, and later imported African slaves. Waning Spanish interest in the island allowed several pirate bases to flourish on the northern and western coasts, and the eventual French claims to the western third of the island in the 1600s. In 1943, Indiana Jones and George McHale went to Haiti in search of the Heart of Darkness, unaware that their rival, Edwin Gruber, kept a small force of soldiers nearby in the Dominican Republic.
- Santo Domingo was a province of Franco-Spanish Nueva España.
