The District:
"Tofino is a district of about 1,650
residents on the west coast of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada,
located at the western terminus of Highway 4, on the tip of the Esowista
Peninsula, at the southern edge of Clayoquot Sound. The settlement of Tofino
first acquired the name in 1909 with the opening of the Tofino Post Office,
named in association with Tofino Inlet nearby. Tofino Inlet was named in 1792 by
the Spanish commanders Galiano and Valdés, in honor of Admiral Vicente Tofiño,
under whom Galiano had learned cartography." - from Wikipedia:
