Share what you know! Personal experiences with the name Dorothy: | Edit. There is the most adorable little girl in my Sunday School class called Dorothy. She's three years old and I couldn't imagine her with another name, Dorothy just seems to suit her so well. :). My Grandmother's name is Dorothy.
The first Spanish settlement in Ecuador was established in 1534 at Quito on the site of an important Incan town of the same name. Another settlement was established four years later near the river Guayas in Guayaquil.
The first European to set foot on the territory of modern-day Ecuador was probably Bartolom Ruiz de Estrada, the pilot for Pizarro on his second voyage, who pushed southward while Pizarro explored the Colombian coast and Almargo returned to Panama for supplies.
