In 1851 nine settlers from the steam ship Sea Gull landed here to establish a settlement, and battled Quatomah Indians who objected to the loss of their land.  Many Indians were killed with a small cannon in two battles, and the settlers ran for their lives.  Later that year, a larger group of settlers established Port Orford.
