Liberty Bay

Liberty Bay is a narrow inlet extending about 4 miles in a northerly direction from the northwest part of Port Orchard, adjacent to the Kitsap Peninsula in Western Washington.

[1] According to the Kitsap Peninsula Visitor and Convention Bureau's Web site: "Despite pleas of Poulsbo residents, the Washington State Legislature, in 1893 and 1899, refused to change the official title of Dogfish Bay to Liberty Bay.

The original name was a location tie-in to the bayshore plant Harry Drescott operated in the 1860s.

It used dogfish oil to grease the logs that made up lumber camp skid roads."
