Proposal Rock is an island off the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon, in Tillamook County, near the community of Neskowin. The island is named for a local legend of a sea captain taking his beloved there to propose to her. [1] The proposal was from Charley Gage to Della Page sometime around 1900. [2] Della's mother, Sarah, then dubbed it Proposal Rock to mark the occasion. [2]
Proposal Rock was originally called “Schlock” by the Native Americans who first lived there. [2]
