History of Oak Harbor ( By Wikipedia)
Oak Harbor is Whidbey Island's largest incorporated city. Named
for the Garry Oak trees which grace its skyline, the city's
growth can be attributed to two major events: the building of
Deception Pass Bridge on
July 31,1935, and the completion of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island on
September 21,1942.
Oak Harbor's history goes back to the early 1850s, when three
settlers staked claims where the city now stands — Martin
Tafton, a shoemaker from Norway; C.W. Sumner from New England,
and Ulrich Freund, a Swiss Army officer. Freund retained part of
his claim, which today is home to his descendants.
Houses and businesses sprouted up along the shores of Oak Harbor
as the pioneers relied entirely on water transportation until
the 1900s. For the next thirty years, steamers and freighters
carried passengers and freight from the Island to the mainland
and back.
The Irish came in the late 1850s, making Oak Harbor grow and
prosper as they fished and farmed the area. The city's Dutch
heritage arrived in the 1890s when Hollanders were disillusioned
with the northern Midwest U.S. and came to Whidbey Island.
Churches, schools, and more businesses followed the arrival of
the Hollanders. A high school was built in 1906. Oak Harbor
flourished as a small country town until Deception Pass Bridge
and the U.S. Navy Base connected the city to the rest of the
world.
Deception Pass Bridge, a National Historic Monument since 1982,
is actually two spans that link
Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island over Canoe Pass and Deception
Pass. The bridge, one of the scenic wonders of the Pacific
Northwest, was a Public Works Administration project built by
the Civilian Conservation Corps. Deception Pass State Park,
Washington's second most popular state park (as of 2004) , has
over 4,100 acres of forest, campsites, trails, and scenic vistas
of the San Juan Islands, Victoria (British Columbia, Canada),
Mount Baker, and Fidalgo Island.
