the community
Discovery Bay is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Washington. The community of Discovery Bay is an area near the intersection of U. S. Route 101 and State Route 20, at the foot of Discovery Bay – roughly midway between the larger communities of Port Townsend to the northeast and Sequim to the northwest. It is a mix of residential areas and commercial enterprises, including crabbing, oystering, clamming, timbering, security training and gravel extraction. A few restaurants and stores on US 101 near SR 20 primarily serve drivers and truckers along US 101. Discovery Bay is the current name generally associated with the area. Its use for the community, as opposed to the bay itself, is relatively recent. The original communities in the area, primarily mill towns that waxed and waned along with the local timber industry, had different names:
Fairmont is a group of residences at the southeast corner of the bay, off SR 20 just northeast of US 101. Discovery Junction is an abandoned railroad junction near Fairmont. Uncas is an old mill community to the southwest of Fairmont, on the south side of US 101. Fort Discovery is the original location of Capt. Vancouver's camp and the present headquarters of Security Services NW. Maynard is an old mill community to the north of Uncas, along US 101 at the southwest corner of the bay. An abandoned sawmill just to the east of US 101 is a well known remnant of this community. The mill has often been incorrectly identified as the 1858 Port Discovery Mill (see Port Discovery, below). It was, in fact, the Maynard Mill. These names often appear on maps and persist in local road names. The mill communities no longer have the population or visibility they enjoyed when the mills were operating, making these hamlets primarily matters of local historical interest. However, changing demographics and rising property values are leading to redevelopment of this area, and breathing new life into older names. South Discovery now constitutes the entirety of the area around Discovery Bay, especially the area between Port Discovery and Port Townsend. The South Discovery voting precinct includes areas away from Discovery Bay, as well. Several nearby place names are also prominent in Discovery Bay history:
Eaglemount is an area on the hills to the south of Discovery Bay, on the east of US 101 above high bluffs over Discovery Bay. (Eaglemount is sometimes depicted as a location on SR 20, but in fact it is reached by turning south on Eaglemount Road from SR20.) Port Discovery is the location of George Vancouver's 1792 visit to Discovery Bay. Many sources incorrectly identify the current Discovery Bay community as the location of Port Discovery; however, Port Discovery was several miles to the north, at Mill Point on the west side of the bay. The site is along US 101, near today's Broders Road. There are several other communities located on or near the shores of Discovery Bay. Port Townsend occupies the northern end of the Quimper Peninsula, 5 mile (8 km) east of the northeast corner of the bay. The downtown area of Port Townsend, a famous seaport (once the major port of the region, before the rise of Seattle), is on the opposite side of the peninsula. Cape George is located on high bluffs at the northeast entrance of the bay; Beckett Point is a shoreline community a mile south. Another shoreline community, Adelma Beach is halfway down the bay. Gardiner is an unincorporated community several miles to the west along US 101, established by Herbert Gardner in the late 19th century. Diamond Point is located at the northwest mouth of the bay, opposite Protection Island, which once hosted a government quarantine station.
Дискавери-Бэй – unincorporated community (не включенный в состав города/округа) в округе Джефферсон, штат Вашингтон. Община Дискавери-Бэй расположена в районе, близком к пересечению федеральной трассы 101 и государственной трассы 20, у подножия залива Дискавери – примерно на полпути между более крупными общинами Порт-Таунсенд к северо-востоку и Секимом к северо-западу. Это сочетание жилых районов и коммерческих предприятий, включая ловлю крабов, устриц, моллюсков, лесозаготовки, обучение охране и добычу гравия. Несколько ресторанов и магазинов на трассе US 101 вблизи SR 20 в основном обслуживают водителей и дальнобойщиков, следующих по трассе US 101. Дискавери-Бэй – это современное название, обычно ассоциирующееся с этой местностью. Его использование для обозначения общины, а не самого залива, относительно недавнее. Первоначальные общины в этом районе, в основном поселки, выросшие вокруг лесопилок, которые процветали и приходили в упадок вместе с местной деревообрабатывающей промышленностью, имели другие названия:

Фэрмонт – группа домов в юго-восточном углу залива, у трассы SR 20, к северо-востоку от US 101. Дискавери-Джанкшн – заброшенная железнодорожная развязка возле Фэрмонта. Анкас – старый поселок, выросший вокруг лесопилки, к юго-западу от Фэрмонта, на южной стороне US 101. Форт-Дискавери – первоначальное место стоянки лагеря капитана Ванкувера и нынешняя штаб-квартира Security Services NW. Мейнард – старый поселок, выросший вокруг лесопилки, к северу от Анкаса, вдоль US 101 в юго-западном углу залива. Заброшенная лесопилка, расположенная к востоку от US 101, является хорошо известным напоминанием об этом поселке. Лесопилку часто ошибочно принимают за лесопилку Порт-Дискавери 1858 года (см. Порт-Дискавери ниже). На самом деле это была лесопилка Мейнарда. Эти названия часто встречаются на картах и сохраняются в названиях местных дорог. Поселки, выросшие вокруг лесопилок, больше не имеют той численности населения и известности, которой пользовались во времена работы лесопилок, поэтому эти небольшие поселения представляют в основном интерес для местных историков. Однако меняющаяся демография и рост цен на недвижимость приводят к перестройке этой территории и возвращают к жизни старые названия. Южный Дискавери теперь охватывает всю территорию вокруг залива Дискавери, особенно район между Порт-Дискавери и Порт-Таунсендом. Избирательный участок Южного Дискавери включает в себя территории, расположенные вдали от залива Дискавери. Несколько близлежащих топонимов также играют важную роль в истории залива Дискавери:

Иглмаунт – район на холмах к югу от залива Дискавери, к востоку от US 101, над высокими обрывами, нависающими над заливом Дискавери. (Иглмаунт иногда изображается как место на SR 20, но на самом деле до него можно добраться, повернув на юг с SR 20 на дорогу Eaglemount Road). Порт-Дискавери – место посещения Джорджем Ванкувером залива Дискавери в 1792 году. Многие источники ошибочно отождествляют нынешнюю общину Дискавери-Бэй с местом расположения Порт-Дискавери; однако Порт-Дискавери находился в нескольких милях к северу, в Милл-Пойнт на западной стороне залива. Это место расположено вдоль трассы US 101, недалеко от современной Бродэрс-Роуд. На берегу или вблизи берегов залива Дискавери расположены несколько других поселений. Порт-Таунсенд занимает северную оконечность полуострова Кимпер, в 8 километрах (5 милях) к востоку от северо-восточного угла залива. Центральный район Порт-Таунсенда, знаменитый морской порт (когда-то главный порт региона, до расцвета Сиэтла), находится на противоположной стороне полуострова. Кейп-Джордж расположен на высоких обрывах у северо-восточного входа в залив; Бекет-Пойнт – прибрежное поселение в миле к югу. Еще одно прибрежное поселение, Адельма-Бич, находится на полпути вниз по заливу. Гардинер – unincorporated community (не включенный в состав города/округа) в нескольких милях к западу вдоль US 101, основанный Гербертом Гарднером в конце XIX века. Даймонд-Пойнт расположен в северо-западной части залива, напротив острова Протекшн, где когда-то располагалась правительственная карантинная станция.

История
Коренные народы – клаллам (местно: с’клаллам) – населяли земли вокруг пролива Хуан-де-Фука на протяжении тысячелетий, включая места в заливе Дискавери. Большинство коренных народов Олимпийского полуострова было переселено в резервации в XIX и начале XX веков, и лишь немногие представители коренных народов продолжали проживать в заливе. В 1792 году, во время исследования этого района, Джордж Ванкувер дал названия заливу Дискавери и Порт-Дискавери. Высадочный отряд сошел на берег вдоль западного берега залива, недалеко от современного Контракторс-Пойнт, чтобы набрать воду из ручья. Сегодня вдоль шоссе 101, над местом высадки, установлена табличка, посвященная этому событию. В 1858 году компания S. L. Mastick Company из Сан-Франциско основала лесопилку Port Discovery Mill на западном берегу залива, на месте нынешнего Милл-Пойнт. Старый лес на крутых склонах над лесопилкой вырубали, спускали бревна к пилораме, распиливали на доски и грузили с причала на корабли, направлявшиеся в другие порты. Вокруг лесопилки выросла деревня для размещения ее работников. Пик численности населения поселения в конце XIX века составлял несколько сотен человек. Порт-Дискавери оставался важным прибрежным портом вплоть до XX века и принимал множество судов Тихого океана. Еще одно крупное поселение было основано у подножия залива, где вырос город Мейнард. Лесопилка в Мейнарде продолжала работать до 1970-х годов и обеспечивала существование нескольких близлежащих небольших поселений, упомянутых выше. Заброшенная пилорама была популярна среди туристов и изображена на многих ностальгических фотографиях и картинах. Она быстро пришла в упадок во время штормов в 2005–2006 годах, и к 2007 году была запланирована к демонтажу в рамках программы восстановления среды обитания.
