History

Olympic National Park is located in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, USA. It was established on June 29, 1938, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. The park covers an area of approximately 922,651 acres and is known for its diverse ecosystems, including temperate rainforests, rugged mountain peaks, and wild coastline.

The history of the Olympic Peninsula and the lands that eventually became Olympic National Park is rich and varied. Native American tribes, such as the Quileute, Makah, and Hoh, have lived in the region for thousands of years and have maintained a deep connection to the land. Their cultural heritage and traditions continue to be an integral part of the park's history.
