Thetis Island History

It’s been slowly growing ever since and a proposed new development could see the population top 400. Settlers from Britain arrived here in the 1870’s and produced farm crops for the Vancouver Island market. William Curran was one of the early settlers. The Burchells from England and the Hunters from the Shetland Islands arrived shortly after and between the two families they owned most of this tiny island. Preedy Hall, built by the Burchells, later burnt down but was rebuilt in 1930.

The British navy gave its name to both Thetis and nearby Kuper islands. Kuper has evolved as a First Nations Reserve, accessible by the same ferry from Chemainus that drops off Thetis passengers.
