The Island of Hispaniola is the second largest island in the Caribbean, at 29, 237sq miles. Haiti occupies about 1/3 of the Island while the Dominican Republic controls the balance of the land.
Christopher Columbus claimed Hispaniola in 1492, declaring it "the most beautiful island in the world". It later became the launching base for the Spanish conquest of the Caribbean, as well as the American mainland.
The western third of the island became known as Haiti in 1804 and while the remainder became known as the Dominican Republic in 1844.
