Discover Bremerton

Bremerton lies within the historical territory of the Suquamish, and the land was opened to non-Native settlement by the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855. In 1888 a Navy commission chose Point Turner, between the sheltered waters of Sinclair and Dyes inlets, as the best site in the Pacific Northwest for a shipyard. Foreseeing the many workers it would employ, the German immigrant and real estate agent William Bremer and his brother-in-law, Henry Hensel, bought the undeveloped land nearby at an inflated $200 an acre. In April 1891 Bremer sold about 190 acres of waterfront on Sinclair Inlet to the Navy, through Lieutenant Ambrose Barkley Wyckoff, at $50 an acre, and the land became the core of the Puget Sound Navy Yard. Bremer founded the town that year.

More about Bremerton

Bremerton was incorporated on October 15, 1901, with Alvyn Croxton as its first mayor. In November 1902 Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Darling moved all repair work to Mare Island in California, citing reports that the waterfront was full of saloons, opium dens and robberies of sailors, though politics over the shipyard's room to expand probably played a part. Croxton fought three council members to close the saloons, and in June 1904 the council revoked all liquor licenses, after which the Navy restored the yard as a port of call, although saloons were back within two years. The city library and Union High School were founded in 1908. During World War I, submarine building and a third drydock swelled the shipyard's workforce to more than 4,000. Bremerton annexed Manette in 1918 and Charleston in 1927, and its population grew from 2,993 in 1910 to 8,918 in 1920. Sources Wikipedia: Bremerton, Washington
