The park's history dates back to the mid-19th century, when the first people settled in what is now Cornet Bay, Bowman Bay and Rosario. The Samish and Swinomish eventually settled in the country, and Captain George Vancouver was the first European to identify the area around Whidbey Island and call the crossing Deception Pass. American settlers, many of whom lived in the countryside until the early 1900s.

A 1925 Congress Act designated the property a public recreation area, and in the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built roads, paths, buildings, and bridges to develop the park.

The name Deception Pass is derived from the fact that what Captain Vancouver thought was a peninsula was actually an island. Vancouver named the island after him in honor of his assistant Joseph Whidbey, who stood by him when he noticed the error. To remind him of the mistake, the captain called the bay where he was anchored "Deception Pass" to remind him of the mistake.
