July 13, 1790, Spanish explorer Manuel Quimper reports that while sureying Port Discorery his men..."Planted the Holy Cross on a sand point in front of the port, the most southerly and westerly one which can be seen when entering the mouth. There is a stream on delicious water in it which comes down apparently from a mountain behind it. The port they said, can hold many vessels by reason of its size and shelter. The country, although somewhat high is level. I have named it 'Quadra'"
