A Sneak Peek into Tofino’s Ancient Past

 

This magical place was believed to be inhabited by the First Nations People, the Nuu-chah-nulth who made Clayoquat Sound their home for thousand of years. The spot was named Tofino after a Spanish Admiral named Don Vincente Tofino whom Captain Galiono and Valdez learned cartography from during an expedition back in 1792.  Later In 1913, the Church of England instructed for a church to be built on the most beautiful spot on Vancouver Island. Tofino was chosen. Tofino became a trading town until the 1950’s when logging became a primary industry when a road was punched through mountains between Port Alberni and the Coast
