When the inner bay became so silted up that it reached the dock at Cline Spit, a new dock was built at this location and the town of Dungeness was moved.

Construction began in 1890, was completed in 1891, and by 1892, most residents had made the move.

The dock was almost 3/4 of a mile long and was for many years the shipping and transportation center for the valley. Today only pilings remain.
