History
Point No Point, a low sandy spit that forms the northern beachside of what is now Hansville, was formerly the southern reach of the historic homeland of the Nuu-chah-nulth, whose generally recognized territory had, as its northern terminus, Vancouver Island.The first regular residents of Hansville were the lightkeepers of the Point No Point Light, which was constructed in 1879. In 1893 a Norwegian fisherman, the community's first permanent settler not affiliated with the lighthouse, came to the area. He was soon followed by other Norwegian emigres, including Hans Zachariasen, for whom Hansville was ultimately named.Hansville was connected to Point No Point and its lighthouse by a road constructed in 1908.
