There was at least one First Nations village (of the Kwakwakaʼwakw) on the site. Ethnic European settlers arrived from the 1910s onwards beginning with a boat landing location and a general store. Logging and fishing were the main occupations, along with supporting agriculture, until the 1950s when the settlement was abandoned.
