On September 9, 1942 the Japanese I-25 (submarine) surfaced near Cape Blanco, Oregon, and launched a Yokosuka E14Y "Glen" seaplane piloted by Nubuo Fujita who dropped incendiary bombs on Mount Emily and succeeded in starting multiple forest fires.
The city takes its name from George Vancouver's original name for Cape Blanco, which he named for George, Earl of Orford, "a much-respected friend."
