Oak Harbor is a city located on Whidbey Island, Washington. Oak Harbor's history dates back to the 1850s when it began as a small pioneer town. When the Irish arrived in the late 1850s, the town grew and developed a strong fishing and farm culture. Churches and schools arrived with the Dutch in the 1890s, and the first high school was built in 1906.

Photographs of Oak Harbor, Washington including the town, ships in the harbor, and street scenes. The photographs were probably taken or collected by Duncan George Inverarity, father of Robert Bruce Inverarity.
