The Tla'Amin people have inhabited this region since the beginng of time.
In 2009, the community of Lund built a Mile Zero marker at the location of the beginning/end of Highway 101.
Lund launches the initial/ final leg of the Pacific Coastal Highway, one of the longest highways in the world, which ends in Quellon, Porto Monte, Chile approximately 15,202 kms south.
The marker is surfaced with locally supplied split rock, bollards delineate the marker and handpainted tiles are embedded into the step around the base. These tiles are now part of the history of Lund and will remainfor as long as the marker stands. If the markeris ever disassembled, the time capsule inside will reveal items of interest in 2009.
Lund's first European settler was Charlie Thulin,who, in 1889 named the harbour "Lund" after a city in his home country, Sweden.
