Description From Owner:

Carmanah Point was named after the nearby Nitinaht Indian village, whose name can be translated as 'thus far upstream.'
Cheewhat River from a very old Nitinaht Indian word meaning ' having an island nearby'.
Clo-oose...Derived from the Nitinaht Indian word meaning 'campsite beach.' Before the village was built, the site was a favourite resting spot for halibut fishermen.
In the years before World War I, a Victoria real estate promoter sold nearby land to well-to-do English families, some of whom built fine houses. Evidently not happy with the Indian name Clo-oose for their postal address,
they petitioned unsuccessfully to have the name changed to Clovelly.
