    Hispaniola

    Island in the Caribbean

    Hispaniola is an island between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean. Hispaniola is the most populous island in the West Indies, and the second-largest by land area, after Cuba. The 76,192-square-kilometre island is divided into two separate sovereign countries: the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic 48,445 km² to the east and the French and Haitian Creole–speaking Haiti 27,750 km² to the west. The only other divided island in the Caribbean is Saint Martin, which is shared between France and the Netherlands. Hispaniola is the site of one of the first European forts in the Americas, La Navidad, as well as the first settlement La Isabela, and the first permanent settlement, the current capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo. These settlements were founded successively during each of Christopher Columbus's first three voyages. Wikipedia
