Description
Point San Pasqual is located on N coast of San Fernando I., Alex. Arch.
History
Named "Punta San Pasqual," i.e. "Saint Pasqual Point," about May 27, 1779, by Francisco Antonio Maurelle, perhaps after San Pasqual Bailon whose day is May 17 (Wagner, 1937, p. 412). In 1923 the location of this feature was formally defined by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS); previously it was confused with Point Santa Rosalia, 1 mile to the west.
