Why is it called Ebey’s Landing?
Isaac Ebey was a person important in early territorial history and chose land on the west side of the island for his homestead in 1850. The spot he chose is a low area where it is easy to land a boat and gain access to the upland part of the Island. Ebey’s beach became a popular location for travelers to cross to the waters east of Whidbey Island. Eventually the spot became known as Ebey’s Landing.
