About Poulsbo, Washington
Poulsbo is a city of 11,975 people in Kitsap County, and it sits where Liberty Bay ends to the north. The Suquamish called this ground Tcutcu Lats, or "maple grove," and gave it up in the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855 while keeping their rights to fish and gather here. Loggers came soon after, and in 1860 Henry Eley set up a camp where downtown now stands. Henry Prescott started trapping dogfish for their oil in 1866, and he caught so many that the water was first known as Dog Fish Bay.
Ole Stubb and his family came from Norway, by way of South Dakota, in 1875. In September 1883 Jorgen Eliason and Peter Olson rowed over from Seattle, and Stubb helped them file homestead claims on the land where downtown is today. Olson sold out, but Eliason stayed and is counted as the founder. In December 1886 Iver B. Moe asked for a post office named for his Norwegian hometown, Paulsbo. The Postal Service misspelled it, so on December 8, 1886, Moe became postmaster of Poulsbo, and the town was incorporated on December 18, 1907.
“saw immediately that this was an ideal place with a promise of a great future. A place that would serve as a magnet to the Norwegians”
- First wagons over Snoqualmie PassThe Moe family left Minneapolis in spring 1882, paying their way west by cutting cord wood for a gold mine and working for the Northern Pacific Railroad. At Lake Kacheelus they rafted their wagons across, then cut through the forest, piling brush into ramps over the biggest fallen trees. Two weeks later they reached Issaquah, the first party to cross the pass with wagons, and they settled on Dog Fish Bay a month after Eliason.
- Steamers tied to log raftsSteamer service began in 1885, when the Augusta started calling three times a week. The town had no wharf until 1894, so boats tied up to log rafts in the bay, a rowboat carried people and goods ashore, and animals swam. Martin Bjermeland rafted in lumber for the first frame house in 1887, then went on to build the church, the school, the wharf, the Grand View Hotel and the codfish plant.
- A sixteen-year-old teacherThe school Bjermeland built opened in 1891, but an earlier one-room school stood on Moe's land. Its first teacher, Nellie Kiddy, was only 16, and after six weeks with six unruly boys and one girl she quit. Her replacement, 30-year-old Maggie Murphy, put up with no nonsense, and Iver Moe's son Chris, one of those boys, remembered her strict discipline for years.
- The downtown fire of 1914After a dry summer of brush fires, flames swept the business district on September 15, 1914, destroying eight buildings, about a third of the business section. No one ever learned the cause. Owners kept trading out of the buildings that survived, and the new downtown went up in cement instead of wood.
- A king's visit in 1975Many families still spoke Norwegian at home until World War II, when the military built about 300 housing units for workers at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. The population nearly tripled in three years, and English took over. Norway's King Olav V visited Poulsbo on October 22, 1975, for the 150th anniversary of Norwegian immigration, and his son Harald followed 20 years later.
