Welcome to Jefferson County Washington Genealogy and History   This site is a member of the Genealogy Trails Family Volunteers Dedicated to Free Genealogy      Available for Adoption!! Our goal is to offer as much FREE historical and genealogical information online as we can, so what this page really needs is a host of its own. To learn what it involves to become a host please visit our Volunteer Information Page (Know-how to make a basic html webpage and a desire to transcribe data are the two big requirements) If you have any questions, comments or data contributions please Contact Us. Thank you and good luck in your search! Please consider sharing your research information so that we can continue to build websites that will remain a helpful resource for the researchers of Washington. WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU.  All data we come across will be added to this website, so please keep checking back. Jefferson County was formed out of Thurston County on December 22, 1852, by the legislature of Oregon Territory, and included the northern 4,854 square miles portion of the Olympic Peninsula. On April 26, 1854, the legislature of Washington Territory created Clallam County from the northwestern 2,670 square miles portion of this original area. The county seat is at Port Townsend, which is also the county's only incorporated city. The county is split in three parts by its landforms: * Eastern Jefferson County along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet, and Puget Sound * Central Jefferson County, which is uninhabited and lies in the Olympic Mountains within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest * Western Jefferson County, along the Pacific Ocean.
