Answer
In 1853, Prussia acquired the port of Wilhelmshaven from the Duchy of Oldenburg in the Jade Treaty. This was a strategically important move for Prussia, as it gave them access to the North Sea and allowed them to build a naval base there. The port was named after King Wilhelm I of Prussia, who had died earlier that year.
