Following the arrival of Spanish Captians and British Captain Vancouver, the first white settler here to stake claim to his crown grant was Thomas William Roberts, in 1889. He and his family, who arrived a year later, played an enormous roll in the small communities early history, hence, the name Roberts Creek.
