History and Museums in Gig Harbor
Gig Harbor's history is a rich tapestry of pioneers in fishing, mills, farms, steamboats, ferries and bridges. The area was named in 1841 during the U.S. Exploring Expedition commanded by Captain Charles Wilkes. During a storm, several longboats and the Captain's “gig,” which is a small boat, sought shelter in a small bay. Later, Captain Wilkes named the haven that sheltered them “Gig Harbor.”
