Poulsbo (/ˈpɔːlzboʊ/ US dict: pôlz′·bō) is a city on Liberty Bay in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. It is the fourth largest city in Kitsap County. The population was 9,200 at the 2010 census.Prior to the arrival of Scandinavian immigrants in the 1880s, the Suquamish people had names for several areas in what is now Poulsbo; one of those names, tcu tcu lats, means place of the maples. Their ancestors occupied villages and camps on the Liberty Bay shoreline for at least 5,000 years, hunted in local forests and floodplains, fished in bays and streams here, and collected shellfish along the marine shoreline.After the signing of the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855, most Suquamish people here relocated to the Port Madison Indian Reservation, although the Suquamish Tribe reserved—and to this day exercises—certain cultural and natural resource rights in their historical territory, including Poulsbo.With the Scandinavians’ arrivals, Poulsbo was founded by Jorgen Eliason, from Fordefjord, Norway, when the primary method of travel was water. Supplies were brought the 18-mile trip from Seattle by rowboat and later by steamboat. Over a 60-year period, the "Mosquito Fleet", comprising more than a dozen steamboats, served Poulsbo and other locations along Liberty Bay and Puget Sound carrying passengers and freight to and from Poulsbo and delivering farmers' produce to Pike Place Market in Seattle.As a reminder of the city's early Scandinavian immigrants, downtown Poulsbo maintains a Scandinavian theme and is a popular regional tourist destination. One of its local products is now available worldwide, Poulsbo Bread, originally made in the local bakery. Many visitors arrive by boat; there are three marinas near the town, and the town's harbor is an excellent anchorage.

History

The population was 6,813 at the United States Census, 2000 census.

Founded by Norwegian immigrant Jorgen Eliason in the 1880's, Poulsbo was originally settled by a large number of Norwegian and other Scandinavian immigrants because of its similarities to their native countries. Moe, one of the early Norwegian settlers, suggested that the community should have a post office. Poulsbo is a city on Liberty Bay in Kitsap County, Washington County, Washington, United States. The population of Poulsbo almost tripled over three years, and the diversification of the population led to the dominance of English language as the primary language. However, during World War II, the military constructed about 300 residential units to provide housing for workers at the nearby Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, located in Bremerton, Washington.
