Note. —Haiti was the native name of the 
island when Columbus landed, on December 6, 
1492, and called it Espagnola, which was lat¬ 
inized into Hispaniola. The French colony 
which gained control of a part of the island 
was called Saint Domingue, and in 1795, when 
France acquired title to the entire island by 
treaty with Spain, it was called Saint Domin¬ 
gue; but when the French were driven out 
and independence declared, in 1804, the aborig- | 
inal name Haiti was revived by the negroes. 
Shortly after this the Spaniards reestablished 
themselves in the eastern part of the island, 
retaining the French name modified to Santo 
Domingo, but in 1821 lost control, and from 1822 
to 1843 the whole island was under one govern¬ 
ment as the Republic of Haiti. In 1844 the 
eastern portion of the island again asserted its 
independence of Haiti and established the 
Dominican Republic, which remains to the 
present day. 
Thus to-day the island of Haiti, which seems 
to be the proper name, consists of two coun¬ 
tries, Haiti on the west end and Santo Domingo 
on the east end. R. C.
