Before Oysterville was given its English name, it was the site of shellfish cultivation and harvesting by Indigenous people. Katie Kettle Gale, a Coast Salish woman, married a newcomer, John Douglas who emigrated to the Pacific Coast around 1841. Katie Kettle Gale and her relatives taught him shellfish farming. [2]Oysterville was established and named in 1854 by J.A. Clark.[3] It was a hub of oyster farming as the name suggests. It was the seat of Pacific County until the seat was relocated to South Bend in 1893. In a county seat war, on February 3, 1893, all of the county records and books were stolen in order to move the county seat from Oysterville to South Bend, Washington. However, it had been agreed upon that the seat would be moved to South Bend. There is a sign telling the story of this incident across from the historic Oysterville school. The town has several historic buildings, including a school house and historic homes, many built prior to 1880. Most of the buildings in this once prosperous town have been lost to the sea and the elements. Oysterville was placed on the National Register of Historic Districts in 1976 as Oysterville Historic District.
