It was the only Spanish settlement ever established in Canada. In 1789, the Spanish established a fort and settlement called Santa Cruz de Nuca in agreement with ta’yii ha’wilth (Chief) Maquinna. Protected by a group of small islands, Yuquot provided an excellent safe habour for ships.Īs Yuquot grew into an important trade centre (particularly for sea otter pelts), as did the colonial interests of the British and Spanish. Over the next few years, Yuquot became known as Friendly Cove by European traders and explorers. Interpreting the word ‘ nuutkaa‘ as a reference to the area, Cook renamed the inlet Nootka Sound and its inhabitants as the Nootka people. The Yuquot villagers instructed Cook to nuutkaa (‘go around’) with his ship into the harbour. In 1778, Captain James Cook became the first European to land on shore. In 1774, Spanish explorer Juan José Pérez Hernández arrived off the shore of Yuquot and called it ‘Santa Cruz.’ The surrounding area was quickly claimed by the Spanish.
