Cadboro Bay

Cadboro Bay was the site of Sungayka, a village of the Songhees Nation for some 8,000 years prior to the relocation of its people to Victoria's Inner Harbour in the mid 1800s.

His brother, Edwin, bought land in Cadboro Bay for a dairy farm, while Frank Hobbs engaged in business in Victoria and other parts of Vancouver Island.

Upon Edwin's death, Frank moved to Cadboro Bay and became active in municipal politics and on the Victoria School Board.

In recognition of this and other services he provided to the area, the local elementary school, opened in 1951, was named in his honour.
