Port Allegany has long been known as "The Canoe Place" and many believe that it gets the name from the Seneca Indians. While the Senecas did travel this area along the Allegheny River, it was a white man named Francis King who camped where Portage Creek joins the Allegheny at a spot not far from where this cache is located. King and his party made several dugout canoes to continue their trip down the river and marked it "Canoe Place" on his map. In 1815, Samuel Stanton bought the surrounding land and in 1826 established the village of Keating. In 1838 the name was changed to Port Allegheny and two years later for no reason ever recorded, the spelling was changed to the present day Port Allegany.
