A 1707 document noted that name and meaning, but other contemporaneous records do not mention skin alterations. The Pastia survived by harvesting and storing the area's abundance of pecans and other nuts and seeds. Prickly pear cacti (nopal) also contributed a large part to their diet. The Pastia, as well as the other tribes of the southeastern Texas tidal plain, reportedly subsisted in the lean months on roots; raw insects, lizards, and worms; and the undigested nuts picked from deer dung.

The Coushatta and Alabama had gradually moved south and west in the tidal plain. After the French were defeated by the British in 1763 in the Seven Years' War and ceded control of their lands, these Native American peoples moved to parts of present-day Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, then areas of Spanish rule, which they thought more favorable than British-held areas. By the time Mordecai arrived, Creek had migrated into and settled in the area, as they were moving away from Cherokee and Iroquois warfare to the north. Mordecai married a Creek woman.

Ripple marks in the oldest Hallett Cove rocks indicate that the sediments that formed them originated on a tidal plain during the upper Precambrian. The plain was part of a shallow sea that bordered an ancient stable landmassCooyerdoo Rocks, located NW of Hallett Cove are dated to 3,157 ± 2 Ma to the west while to the east lay ocean as the eastern half of Australia had yet to form. The shallow sea extended around , from the northernmost Flinders Ranges to Kangaroo Island and lay above an unstable depression called the Adelaide Geosyncline which slowly sank as sediments built up, keeping pace so that the water remained shallow from about 870 Ma (the middle Neoproterozoic) to ~500 Ma (the end of the Cambrian). Sediments sinking to the sea floor accumulated, reached a depth of locally to in depth in the Flinders Ranges.

Due to the large scale of this area and its historical lack of accessibility, the area history can be revealed well with aerial photographic records. In 1989, the firm of Earth Metrics Incorporated conducted a review of historic aerial photographs dating back to 1956.(Earth Metrics, 1989) The Seaport Centre site and its environs, as of the 1956 aerial stereo photo, were essentially undeveloped, although extensive salt evaporation ponds were evident on site. Redwood City Planning Department records confirm that the site was used for salt evaporation since sometime prior to World War II. Analysis of five sets of time staged stereo pairs of aerial photos reveal that the Seaport Centre site remained undeveloped until 1982; up until that time, city records show that the site was zoned as "Tidal Plain", a designation not allowing urban development.

': :Manila: evolved Spanish form of the Tagalog phrase may-nilà ("where there is indigo"), which remains the native name for the city to this day. The name is more likely in reference to the presence of indigo-yielding plants growing in the area surrounding the settlement, rather than a reference to the settlement being known for trading in indigo dye (Tagalog: nilà, derived from the Sanskrit nīla (नील), Maynilà was founded several hundred years before indigo dye extraction became an important economic activity in the Manila area in the 18th century. :Quezon City (1948–1976): named after Manuel L. Quezon, the former president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, during whose term the city was established and began to be developed to replace Manila as the country's capital. :Cebu City (1565–1571): Spanish corruption of the Cebuano word sugbu ("to walk on shallow waters"), referring to the fact that the settlement was fronted by a shallow tidal plain through which one had to wade in order to board seagoing vessels anchored in deeper waters, or to reach dry land after disembarking.
