HistoryThis beautiful area was originally inhabited by a band of Native Americans known as the Semiahmoo. There are different interpreta-tions as to what the word “Semiahmoo” means. According to Chief James “Jimmy” Charles, chief of the Semiahmoo, the word means “half-moon,” and describes the shape of Semiahmoo Bay. But White Rock, B.C. historian Lorraine Ellenwood writes that “it translates, in one sense, as ‘water all around’ or ‘hole in the sky’”. Either way, we think Semiahmoo is spectacular. Learn more about the rich history of the area in our full compendium.
