History
The name of the site in Lushootseed was D'Suq'Wub, meaning "clear salt water," and is the source of the name of the Suquamish people. Lushootseed (also xʷəlšucid, dxʷləšúcid, Puget Salish, Puget Sound Salish, Skagit-Nisqually) is the language or Dialect The name "Old Man House" comes from the Chinook Jargon word "oleman" meaning "old, worn out. Chinook Jargon originated as a Pidgin trade language of the Pacific Northwest, and spread quickly up the West Coast from modern Oregon to the regions now "
Archeological investigations have revealed that the village site was occupied for at least 2000 years. Accounts vary as to when the longhouse itself was constructed; many sources indicate it was built in the late 18th or early 19th century, but it might have been built earlier. Reports of the longhouse's size also vary, putting its length between 600 and 1000 feet.
The lands around Old Man House were retained by the Suquamish tribe after the Point Elliott Treaty was signed in 1855, becoming the Port Madison Indian Reservation. The Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855 or the Point Elliott Treaty is the lands settlement treaty between the United States government and the nominal Native American The Port Madison Indian Reservation is an Indian reservation in northern Kitsap County, Washington.

Year 1870 ( MDCCCLXX) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common The destruction of the longhouse was intended to encourage the Suquamish to spread out across their reservation and take up farming. After it was burned, the Suquamish rebuilt their village at the site and continued to live there. In 1886 the federal government divided the reservation into allotments which were assigned to individual Suquamish families.
In 1904 the U. S. War Department acquired land along Agate Pass, including the site of Old Man House, to build fortifications to protect the new naval shipyards at Bremerton. Bremerton is a city in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. The village site had to be moved, and the tribe lost much of its water access. The fortifications were never built, and the land purchased by the military was eventually sold in 1937 to a private developer and subdivided for vacation homes.
In 1950, the Washington Parks and Recreation Department purchased an acre of waterfront where Old Man House had been located and set it aside as a state park. State Park is a term used in the United States and in Mexico for an area of land preserved on account of its natural beauty historic interest recreation or other The park was returned to the Suquamish Tribe on August 12, 2004.
