Origin of place name: According to the Encyclopedia of Raincoast Place Names, the HMS Plumper was one of the main hydrographic vessels on the BC coast from 1857-61 under Captain George Richards. Richards named a half dozen geographical features on the coast—including Quadra's Plumper Bay—after his ship, a 591-tonne barque-rigged steam sloop.
