Nicaragua - 500th Anniversary of Discovery



Nicaragua


Nicaragua was discovered by Christopher Columbus more than 500 years ago. An article in HowStuffWorks (on History of Nicaragua) stated that Columbus reached Nicaragua in 1502 on his last voyage. Nicaraguan postal authority has issued two stamps to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the discovery of Nicaragua. The stamps were issued officially on September 12, 2002.
