Encyclopedia > Trinity Hills

The Trinity Hills are a range of hills in southeastern Trinidad. According to legend, it is after these hills that Christopher Columbus named the island of Trinidad. Columbus had promised to name the next land he discovered after the Holy Trinity. The first land he saw is supposed to have been this group of three hills. However, it is unlikely that the Trinity Hills could have been the first land sighted by Columbus - their location makes it unlikely that they could be seen by anyone who had not already seen some other part if Trinidad or Venezuela. The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is a nation located in the southern Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Venezuela. ... No authentic contemporary portrait of Columbus has been found; this late 19th-century engraving is one of many conjectural images For information about the director, see the article on Chris Columbus. ... Trinidad (Spanish, Trinity) most commonly refers to the larger island of the nation Trinidad and Tobago, the subject of this article. ... This article concerns the holy Trinity of Christianity. ... The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (Spanish: República Bolivariana de Venezuela)1 is a country in northern South America. ...


The Trinity Hills lie between to Guayaguayare and Moruga, on the south coast of Trinidad.
