In 1854, the only access from the Willamette Valley was over the very crude Hebo Trail laid out by early settlers. This trail ran from Grand Ronde over Mt Hebo (originally called Mt. Heavo) and followed an old indian trail 20 miles to the Tillamook Valley. Before the settlers began arriving to the Nestucca Valley in the 1870's, it was populated by Indian Tribes of the Nestuggas and the Killamooks (the name origin of the Nestucca River and Tillamook). The original name of Haystack Rock is said to be "Chief Kiawanda Rock" named after a very well known Chief of the Nestugga Tribe from the early 1800's. By the time the Tribes were relocated from their homes to a reservation on the Salmon and Siletz Rivers, the Indians numbered around 200. Around 1876, Chief Nestugga Bill and the last of the small tribe, paddled down the Little Nestucca River across the bar into the Pacific Ocean and headed south to their new home.
