Date Visited:   Sunday, October 14, 2001
City Visited #:   102
County:   Kitsap
Visited With:   Sister
City Name History:   Named Indianola Beach in 1916 by a development company because the land was originally an allotment grant to a member of the Port Madison band of Indians. Postal authorities rejected the double-word name and called the post office Kitsap after the Indian Chief. In the late 1950s the post office named was changed to Indianola, the one-word, common-usage name for the community.
