The unique sandstone features of Sucia cliffs and formations lead geologists to believe that the island was once on the floor of Baja California. The island is still migrating north to this day.

Very soon after the first settlement in 1788, farming began to fail because sandstone was underlying, at a very shallow depth, most of the available flat land. This caused what amounted to a famine for the colony, and the early administrators sent groups of prisoners to an area nearby, named The Rocks, to eke out what ever existence they could from the land and build housing for themselves. These first occupants soon hewed out sandstone from the outcrops and built simple houses.
