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
