Origin Notes and History of Dungeness
References to Dungeness that document the origin of its place name
DUNGENESS, a town, harbor and river on the shore of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, in Clallam County. In April, 1792, Captain George Vancouver wrote: "The low sandy point of land, which from its great resemblance to Dungeness in the British channel, I called New Dungeness * * * " (Voyage Around the World, second edition, Volume II., page 55.) That name, thus applied first to the point or spit, has been extended to other uses.
