The community was named after Robert N. Getty, a businessperson in the lumber industry.[2] The 30-year-old Getty settled in the area in 1887 and built several structures that served a local logging boom.[3] A post office called Gettysburgh was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1926.[4] A postmaster of Gettysburg, Ida M. Simmons, was in 1912 convicted of embezzling $814 from the government and served a "unique" sentence of one hour in prison.[5] Gettysburg had a steamboat connection to Puget Sound cities.[6] By 1976 it was reported that nothing had remained of the town except its name.[3] References1. ^{{GNIS|1530535}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Meany|first=Edmond S.|title=Origin of Washington geographic names|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027074981;view=1up;seq=113|year=1923||publisher=University of Washington Press|location=Seattle|page=97}} 3. ^1 {{cite newspaper |title=Chapter 38: Development of the West End |newspaper=The Daily News |location=Port Angeles, Washington |date=1976-09-17 |page=17}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?state=WA |title=Post Offices |publisher=Jim Forte Postal History |accessdate=31 July 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306120103/http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?state=WA |archivedate=6 March 2016 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Woman serves sentence of one hour for theft |newspaper=The Seattle Star |date=1912-12-14 |page=6 |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87093407/1912-12-14/ed-1/seq-6/}} 6. ^{{cite book |title=State of Washington: Second and Third Annual Reports of the Railroad Commission of Washington |chapter=The State by Counties (Clallam county) |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PytKAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA102&lpg=RA3-PA102 |page=102 |year=1909 |publisher=E.
