  2. According to history it was founded on August 5th, 1494 by one of Columbus son Bartholomeo Columbus. It was the first city founded by the Europeans.

  3. The city of Santo Domingo dates back to 1496, around the same time when the first settlement in the Americas.

  4. It was founded on a Sunday, hence the name.  For a few years it was called Ciudad Trujillo after the then dictator who was  later assassinated.

  5. Date : 5 of August 1498 by the son of C. Colon (Columbus) , Bartholomeo Colon.. The first settlement was on the other side of the river, but due to military reasons they build it where it is now, at the actual place, ( Zona Colonial). I Hope this helped.
