The Denny Party arrived at Alki Point on November 13, 1851, establishing the settlement New York Alki.

The party, consisting of 24 people, arrived on the schooner Exact after a difficult passage. David Denny greeted them with regret. The group platted six blocks of eight lots. Arthur Denny was disappointed that scouts Low and Terry had already staked claims.
