As part of one of my classes i'm doing a paper about DR. One of the things i'd like to mention is the many "firsts" we have, that is the first cathedral, the first university, etc. One thing i *can't* seem to find and/or remember is this: as far as i know, the first city of the new world was La Isabela, and then what happened? Why did SD become the first city in the world? Is it that a hurricane came and destroyed La Isabela or was it due to fights between tainos and spaniors.
One more thing, i think i may be leaving something about our firsts. So far i have: first city, cathedral, hospital, mass, university and *arzobispado* of the new world. Something tells me that i'm missing something, can anyone enlighten me?
I don't want to go too deep into history because i'm supposed to not talk more than 5 mins, so i need this short.
Thanks in advance
