San Juan Island National Historical Park, also known as American and English Camps, San Juan Island, is a National Park on San Juan Island in Washington, made up by the sites of the British and Armies' camps during the Pig War. Both of these camps were set up in 1859 as response to a border dispute triggered by the killing of a pig. The camps were occupied for 12 years, until the Treaty of Washington was signed, negotiated by Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany. The British abandoned their camp in November 1872, while the American camp was disbanded in July 1874. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961,and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
