History.
Sue-meg is the original place name used by the Yurok people. In the modern Yurok orthography, it is spelled "Suemeeg," pronounced [ʂumiɣ] or [ʂumij].
Patrick Beegan, an Irish immigrant who came from the Mississippi Valley in 1851, referred to the area as Patrick's Ranch. After encountering wild potato, "Old Patrick," as he was known to the residents of the Trinidad area, decided to stop and file a preemption claim to the land. Beegan's claim to the land was first recorded in the Trinidad Record Book on January 13, 1851, and the first official mention of Patrick's Point on the Humboldt County map was in 1886. 
Another narrative attributes the name to Patrick McLaughlin, a squatter who arrived in the 1870s and is credited with planting the first apple trees in the area.
Efforts to protect the wooded region and coastal rock formations led to the establishment of the park, ultimately encompassing an area of , originally named Patrick's Point State Park. 
Later, requests that the park be renamed because Patrick Beegan had been accused of murdering several Indigenous Americans led to a name change. Sue-meg, reflecting the original Yurok name for the land, became official by unanimous vote of the California State Parks and Recreation Commission in 2021.
