Port Clements Post Office was opened 1 April 1914 (or 1 May 1914?), named after Herbert Sylvester Clements (1865 - 1939), one-time MP for Comox-Atlin, who had been active in securing appropriations for Public Works in the Queen Charlotte Islands.

"A man named Eli Tingley first arrived at what is now Port Clements in 1907. He had a vision for the town site as it started to grow. Originally named Queenstown, the town was renamed Port Clements in 1914. The town's namesake Herb Clements was the local Member of Parliament. In return for using his name, the community was given a new government wharf. This addition made the difference in the development of the settlement as a wharf always attracts more visitors and commerce." (from Village of Port Clements website, 2007)
