| History : | This 5-kilometre by 21-kilometre Island has a history similar to many of its island neighbours. However, this is not to say that its history is any less interesting. The island was named in 1791 after Juan Maria Lasqueti, a prominent Spanish naval officer. Some marine fossils found on Lasqueti have been traced to 100 million years ago. More recently, First Nations, Spanish explorers, and white settlers inhabited the island to explore, farm, ranch, and log. Lasqueti Island once had great stands of red cedar, however, much of these were logged prior to 1950.Tucker Bay was the location of the first post office, steamship service, school, and store – all developed after 1912. False Bay became the site for the first salmon cannery in 1916, and the population followed. False Bay would become Lasqueti’s main centre, receiving the same services that Tucker Bay had earlier on. | ||
