Discovered in 1602-03 by
Vizcaino's expedition, the bay was named by Bodega in
his survey of 1775. The harbor was used in 1790 by Colnett
and in 1809 and 1811 by the Kusov expeditions. The Russian-American
company and their Aleut hunters used the bay as an outpost
until 1841, Stephen Smith took control in 1843. Pioneer
ships of many nations used Bodega Bay as an anchorage.
