the 1840's. John
Galloway was the first recorded occupant of the area. John was born in Scotland and occupied an area of Schooner Gulch between 1866 and 1868, which was largely used as a milling operation for timber. Logging continued at Schooner Gulch until the late 1800's, through various other milling operations. Another interesting part of the history of Schooner Gulch is the Galloway School. The school land was donated by John and Margaret Galloway. Galloway School operated for 62 years, from 1874 to 1936 with never more than 40 students. In 1940 the school lot was sold, and land around the lot was farmed by the Nobles family until 1986 at which time the land was sold to the State of California. Legend has it that Schooner Gulch got its name from a story in which a schooner was sited, one evening, stranded on the beach in the mouth of the gulch, yet in the morning showed no evidence of being there.
568:... They were bringing from Point Arena their big traction engines with which they expect to do their plowing, the weight of one engine being about eight tons. Arriving at Schooner Gulch, three miles out from Point Arena, the lead engine with the water truck crashed down the bridge and turned over in the stream. The engineer, with the fireman, jumped, but Nicholas Pogsikoff, who was walking between the engine and the water truck, was instantly killed. ...
576:"Tragedy first struck while the tractors were being driven down from Point Arena. The old bridge across Schooner Gulch collapsed while one of the 8-ton engines was crossing, killing the colony member walking alongside. They buried him on a bluff and surrounded his grave with a ring of white stones now gone, but The Sea Ranch has placed a marker near the location.
637:, I was reading comments others have made. But I've came to the conclusion that there isn't a lot of verifiable citations to classify it as a community. However, if its intended to be kept, you could possibly rename it to 'Schooner Gulch'. Interestingly, this citation of an archive I found lists Schooner Gulch/Gallaway as part of Point Arena. Thanks.
296:"Galloway") were two names for the same thing. There just isn't enough there for us to say that "Galloway" was ever a place, and it's certainly not populated now. The material for Schooner Gulch and the school (there ain't much) could be put in the Schooner Gulch State Park article I guess, if anyone wants to.
534:
My question is, what is the place called. Schooner/Skooner Gulch, or
Galloway/Gallaway, or what? Are these two separate things, or just two different names for the same thing? (If the latter, I'm OK with flipping a coin and being like "Schooner Gulch, also called Galloway, was..." or vice versa.) BTW

The map of the coast is thickly marked with names, but most of them relate to lumbering settlements that have vanished with the marketable timber of the immediate locality. Some of these tiny places bore odd names: for instance, during the morning I passed Rough and Ready, and Hard

Historically, Schooner Gulch is within the territory of the coastal branch of the
Central Pomo Indians which extends from the mouth of the Navarro River to the mouth of the Gualala River. This area was frequented by Russians and native Alaskan hunters as early as 1812, and by Mexican land owners in

If it's just a name in a list, I'm not inclined to take the last too seriously. It's a classic situation in which the problems were are trying to sort out arise: a document compiled for other purposes, the author of which is working from maps or listings and just assumes that names are towns or

274:. I suppose that's usually accurate, but nothing's 100% accurate. It's wrong when it says it's a "populated place", because it's not. If it's wrong about that, it could be wrong about the rest. And I think it is. (However, Google Maps does label the area as "Gallaway", so there's that.)
616:. ☺ It's also why I mentioned the Nobles, pointing to where we can source their history to the sorts of histories where, probably, the state park blurb writers themselves sourced their information from. Moreover, I had already answered the question about the spelling, above.
