| About Hispanic Day |
| Hispanic Day is the annual U.S. commemoration of explorer Christopher Columbus' landing in the New World on October 12, 1492. Columbus was not the first European successfully to cross the Atlantic. Columbus Day was first celebrated by Italians in San Francisco in 1869, following on the heels of 1866 Italian celebrations in New York City. Many Italian-Americans observe Columbus Day as a celebration of Italian-American heritage. |
