The Community
Coupeville--Beautiful natural forests, prairies and shorelines create habitats
attracting many species of wildlife. Penn Cove and Crockett's Lake are important
feeding grounds for shorebirds and waterfowl. Deer are commonly seen in the
Coupeville town limits. The crown jewels are majestic bald eagles, local
residents who share fishing waters with otters and harbor seals.
Founded in 1852 by
Captain Thomas Coupe, Coupeville is the second oldest town in the State of
Washington. The town is justly proud of its finely preserved Victorian homes.
Coupe's original home, built in 1853, is one of the State's oldest. Here too are
historic blockhouses, the Island County Historical Museum, and Ebey's Landing
National Historic Reserve established by Congress in 1980 as the first and one
of the largest such reserves in the nation. It's 22 square miles encompass
farmlands, Fort Ebey State Park, beaches, parks, trails and 91 nationally
registered historic structures.
