Christopher Columbus explored and claimed the island in 1492. In 1697, Spain recognized French dominion over the Western third of the island, which in 1804 became Haiti. The remainder of the island, then known as Santo Domingo, gained its own independence in 1821 but was conquered and ruled by the Haitians for 22 years. It finally got its real own independence as the Dominican Republic in 1844.
