English Camp - San Juan
Island Washington
English camp is a leftover from San Juan Island's English occupation
during the Pig War during the mid 1800's when one side of the island
was occupied by English forces and the other by American forces in
American camp.
When the borders were established between English
and American territories it was agreed that the Puget Sound passage
would serve as the dividing line between the two countries. The
dispute surfaced when it was determined there are two passages
around the San Juan Islands and depending on which side of the
island you chose to navigate, the island would belong to either
England or the United States.
