Baker Bay is the first large indentation on the Washington side of the Columbia River after passing Cape Disappointment. The 1792 Captain George Vancouver expedition named the bay after a British merchant, Captain James Baker, whose ship was anchored inside the Columbia's mouth when Broughton crossed the bar to explore the river. Lewis and Clark named Baker Bay "Haley's Bay" on November 15, 1805.
