The origin of the name "Metchosin" dates back to the time when a dead whale was cast up on a local beach, causing the Native peoples to refer to the area as "Smets-Shosin", meaning "place of stinking fish" or "place smelling of fish oil".
The area is rural with a number of small farms and organic fruit and vegetable producers. The "subdivisions" usually contain lot sizes that range from 5 to 10 acres.
