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]
