History
The name "Punta de la Forteleza" or "stronghold point" was given by Francisco Antonio Maurelle who discovered it on May 18, 1779. This was "no doubt a settlement of Indians on top of the high rock near Punta San Bartolome [Cape Bartolome], described by Mourelle [sic] in his journal" (Wagner, 1937 p. 388-389).
