Pipers Lagoon was originally know as Page's Lagoon, named after land owner Louis Page. Prior to his
ownership, the surrounding area was a First Nations hunting ground. In 1917, the Piper's family bought
the property, planning on using it as a farm.

In 1907, the Pacific Whaling Company set up a factory in Pipers Lagoon (known then as Page Lagoon).
Humpback whales frequented the coast at the time, following the herring runs through the Salish Sea. In
one year, the factory caught close to a hundred whales, and it’s believed to be responsible for their
near complete population wipe-out in the area. ~ Living Reef Memorial Canada
