Origin Notes and History:
|
Daniel Point adopted 4 October 1945 on C.3590 as recommended by Hydrographic Service, not "Norman Point" as labelled on BC map #20, 1912. Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
|
Origin/significance of "Norman" not recorded; explanation for name change not provided (possibly to avoid confusion with another Norman Point on Hornby Island?). Still known locally as Norman Point, according to June 1992 survey by Hydrographic Service.

Presumably in association with Pender Harbour, in turn after Capt. Daniel Pender, RN. Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
