After revisiting La Navidad to find the 40 men that Columbus had left, he headed eastwards and, found Dominica in the West Indies at dawn on Sunday, November 3. Landing on Dominica, his first impression was that the island was beautiful. Columbus named the island Dominica because he landed on it on Sunday. In Latin, Dominica means Sunday. He didn't do much things in there, but it is well known for its beauty.
This event was significant to both Columbus and modern worlds, because Columbus had wrote a book about the island, and now days, Dominica is very famous for its beauty, that its nick name is "Nature Isle of the Caribbean."
