It was originally named Slaughter County in honor of Lt. William Slaughter who died in 1855 during the Indian Wars. However, a few weeks later the county name changed to Kitsap in honor of a local Native American chief whose name means “brave chief.” It was once part of King and Jefferson counties. The county is a peninsula located on the west side of Puget Sound. All records are in English. These records are open for research.
