October 12, 1492
Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas on October 12, 1492
“On August 3, 1492, Columbus and his crew set sail from Spain in three ships: the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. On October 12, the ships made landfall—not in the East Indies, as Columbus assumed, but on one of the Bahamian islands, likely San Salvador.” Source
Six Geocaches, hidden in 2003, are still active in the Bahamas.
