Quadros Point


Quadros Point (48˚42'05" 123˚23'42" NE tip of Knapp I, off NE end of Saanich Peninsula, N of Victoria). Joseph Quadros, a native of the Azores, pre-empted Knapp I and neighbouring Pym I in 1889 and received a Crown grant for them the following year. He had applied to become a British subject in 1881 and married Catherine Quotlunes, his First Nation wife, in 1886. The point was named by the hydrographic service in 1962. Pym I (qv) was formerly known as Quadros I. See also Knapp I.
