Nanaimo Car Rental Travel Inspiration

The indigenous peoples of the area now known as Nanaimo are the Snuneymuxw. An Anglican spelling and pronunciation of that word gave the city its current name. The first Europeans to find the Bay of Nanaimo were Juan Carrasco's 1791 Spanish voyage, under the command of Francisco de Eliza. They gave it the name of Bocas de Winthuysen in honor of the naval officer Francisco Javier Winthuysen y Pineda. When the Hudson's Bay Company established a settlement in 1852, they named it Colvile Town in honor of HBC Governor Andrew Colvile. In 1858 he became Nanaimo.
