The natural and human histories of Ebey’s Landing NHR are inextricably interwoven. The geography, geology, topography, climate, biotic life, and the evolving relationship between land and sea- the ecology- have all interacted and played a vital role in influencing the human history of the Reserve. This historical resources study traces the history of human habitation, occupation, and use of Ebey’s Landing NHR. Sequential sections of this study tell the story of Native American habitation, European exploration, missionary activities, Anglo-American settlement, farming over 150 years, other commercial activities (fishing, shipping, logging, etc.), military activities, and social and cultural developments. This study has drawn on information in both primary and secondary historical material to synthesize the multiple layers of historical interaction between the human inhabitants of the unique physical environment of this place.
