 Roberts Creek sits roughly halfway between the Town of Gibsons and the District of Sechelt, the two main population centres on the southern Sunshine Coast.To the Indigenous peoples of both the Squamish and Shishalh, Roberts Creek served as the border between the two peoples.Due to the several creeks that drain into the Strait of Georgia which offer seasonal runs of salmon, the native peoples chose to settle in Roberts Creek many centuries prior to European settlers.
