The Englishman Bartholomew Gosnold, the first European to explore the area, called the headland “Dover Cliff” in 1602, after the famous formation on the English Channel. The Gay Head name was in common usage by the 1660s. In 1998, the name of the town of Gay Head was changed to Aquinnah, which roughly means “end of the island,” to better reflect the heritage of its residents.
