Central Oregon Coast History

Cape Foulweather was discovered by Captain James Cook, the English explorer on March 7, 1778.
The weather was particularly stormy on the day of his discovery (winds of 100 MPH at the cape are not unusual).

Captain Cook named the location Cape Foulweather, the first geographic location named on his voyage to the north Pacific coast.
Once accounts of this voyage were published, world interest was aroused and the fur trade followed.
