INDIANOLA

Have you ever heard of the mosquito fleet? When settlers started to arrive in Puget Sound, the only medium of transportation during that time was by boat. These boats had small steamers which has a sound that reverberates back and forth from the area. Due to this buzzing sound, these small boats are called mosquito fleet. Due to the signs of the times, and the larger population that goes to Kitsap County, bigger and highly-advanced ferries traveled the waters and as these bigger ferries multiply in number, small boats gradually become obsolete. The numerous vessels that travel around Kitsap country produced a humming and buzzing sound that people in Kitsap are already used to hence the name Mosquito Fleet became an infamous name up to the present. The Mosquito Fleet provided the biggest number of boats and ferries and as a result, docks were built to cater to these modes of transport. This began the establishment of Indianola. Indianola together with the Indianola dock made this small community an ideal place to visit and to live in.

Indianola is situated within the Port Madison Reservation particularly on the north shore. In 1886, Indianola was designated to Kakue Beedee and as time passed by, Indianola was given to Alpheus Loughrey’s sons and who was married to a relative of Beedee’s. The development of the community of Indianola began when W.L. Gazzam started to develop real estate in the area using the property of the Loughrey family. Aside from the real estate venture that Gazzam launched, various services and tourist attraction such as the Indianola dock and stores were also built. Eventually, Indianola became a tourist destination. In the year 1919, Carl Hendrix organized a daily ferry service that will deliver passengers from Indianola to other places in Kitsap County. Hendrix’s family was also the first people to erect a school during this time. Cyrus Beede Pickrell, moved from Suquamish to Indianola to rehabilitate the mailing service in the year 1920. As these various community services arise, the community of Indianola became more and more prosperous. In 1935, Indianola dock was reconstructed to provide a bigger space for numerous boats and buzzing ferries. In 1935, Kitsap country conceptualized a construction of a road linking Indianola and Suquamish, in 1939, the road was accomplished and that was the beginning of having more than two modes of transportation. Due to this innovation in transporting people, more amenities were constructed in Indianola and more families started to settle.
