Detailed antique harbor plan or chart of the bay and surrounding area near <b>Cartagena</b> (Carthagena) Columbia. At left of this fine map is shown the the small walled village of Carthagena. Most place names and features are in Spanish, including <b>Tierra Bomba</b>, Fort de Manzanillo, Castillo Grande, Fort de San Yago, Castillo de San Luiz, and near the village, Fort de San Felipe de Baraxas. The pass into the bay near the village of Cartagena was impassable even at that time as it is marked "Boca Cerrada".
<br></br>
The city, a major port, was founded in 1533, and named after Cartagena, Spain, which in turn was named after Carthage in Tunisia. Settlement in the region around Cartagena Bay by various indigenous people dates back to 4000 BC. During the Spanish colonial period Cartagena served a key role in administration and expansion of the Spanish empire.

A Well. 6. A Bungo. (A bungo was a type of boat or canoe used in the southern United States made of a hollowed-out tree.)

It was on the island of San Juan de Ulúa that Spanish captain Juan de Grijalva first arrived in 1518, along with conquistador and author Bernal Díaz del Castillo ("The True History of the Conquest of New Spain"). That island was also the scene of a battle in 1569 between the Spanish Navy and a fleet led by John Hawkins that included Francis Drake. The treachery that the English perceived on the part of Spain at that battle helped to fuel antagonism between the two powers for many decades.
