1492年克里斯托夫·哥伦布(Christopher Columbus)首次踏足这个岛屿后，圣多明各成为美洲第一个建立教堂、医院、海关和大学的地方。这座殖民地城镇建于1498年，呈网状布局，是后来几乎所有新大陆城镇规划者效仿的典范。

After Christopher Columbus's arrival on the island in 1492, Santo Domingo became the site of the first cathedral, hospital, customs house and university in the Americas. This colonial town, founded in 1498, was laid out on a grid pattern that became the model for almost all town planners in the New World.
