Seattle was founded on this body of water in the 1850s and has since grown to encompass it completely . The waterway it provides to the Pacific Ocean has served as a key element of the city's economy, enabling the Port of Seattle to become one of the busiest ports in the United States . </P> <P> The bay was named during the Wilkes expedition in 1841, however it is not known for whom the bay is named . Candidates include members of the expedition: ship's chaplain Jared Elliott, ship's boy George Elliott, and midshipman Samuel Elliott . The last has been deemed the most likely namesake . Commodore Jesse Elliott has also been proposed as a possible source of the name . The bay has been referred to as Duwamish Bay and Seattle Harbor, especially before the US Board on Geographic Names officially settled on the name "Elliott Bay" in 1895 . </P>
