That depends on what you mean by "America."

If you mean "the Americas," it was on San Salvador - an island in the Bahamas.
If you mean the mainland, it was on the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela.
If you mean the North American mainland, it was Puerto Castillo in Honduras.
If you mean what is now the territory of the United States, it was St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

He first landed on the island of Hispaniola.  It is now Haiti on the western half and Dominican Republic on the eastern half.  In the Caribbean Sea just south of the mainland....Show more
