History of Guam - Discovery.
On March 6, 1521 Ferdinand Magellan came across Guam on his expedition to circumnavigate around the globe. He and his crewmen were greeted by the Chamorros, in small fast vessels called "flying proas". They welcomed the Europeans with food and drink. According to Chamorro folk history, the Chamorros expected to be paid in return while the Europeans saw the supplies given to them as gifts.

History of Guam - Discovery
On March 6, 1521 Ferdinand Magellan came across Guam on his expedition to circumnavigate around the globe. He and his crewmen were greeted by the Chamorros, in small fast vessels called "flying proas". They welcomed the Europeans with food and drink. According to Chamorro folk history, the Chamorros expected to be paid in return while the Europeans saw the supplies given to them as gifts. When — having not been recompensed for the food and hospitality — the Chamorros stole upon Magellan's ships taking iron from the decks. In response, the Spaniards killed several islanders and burned their homes. Magellan and his men left Guam and continued their journey to the spice islands. Angry at the 'larcenous' natives, he first dubbed Guam and the rest of the Mariana Islands "Las Islas de los Ladrones", (The Islands of the Thieves), but in 1668 the first missionary to Guam, Padre San Vitores, changed the name to "Las Marianas" after Mariana of Austria, widow of Spain's Philip IV.
History of Guam - Colonization
Within decades, Guam was colonized by Spain. It was an important stop along the Spanish route between the Philippines and Mexico for trade galleons and whaling ships. The original inhabitant population dwindled significantly as a result of disease and rebellion against the Spaniards. Much of the adult male population was killed. Still, a population of those who identified themselves as Chamorros remained, though the culture and bloodlines began to incorporate Spanish and other European religion, customs, and language.
