According to legend, on his third voyage to the New World, Columbus vowed that the first land he saw he would name for the Holy Trinity. He considered it a miracle when the next sighting of land was three peaks rising over the horizon, supposedly Trinidad's Trinity Hills. Though this was the first European sighting of the island, archeological evidence indicates human habitation for at least 7,000 years.
