History

Depoe Bay was named for Siletz Indian Charles "Charley" Depoe (born Ki-sa Che-wes-cla) who was originally allotted the land in 1894 as part of the Dawes Act of 1887.[3] One says he was given the name "Depot Charley" for working at the military depot near Toledo, Oregon.[4][5] The family was later known as "DePoe" after his son, Robert DePoe attended the Carlisle Indian School.[6] His original tribal affiliation was Josua/Tututni.[7]

On March 11, 2011, Depoe Bay's port was damaged by a tsunami caused by the Tōhoku earthquake off the coast of Japan.[8]
