The Tofino Times was founded on March 28th, 1901, as the Tofino Kingston Daily Press, indicative of its original headquarters in the Kingston district of Tofino. Founded by journalist and city council member Nathan Belquist, the newspaper initially took confidence in its writers, journalists, and publishers as an "ideologically conservative" paper with "intent to seek every bounty of truth and purity in sociatal conduct" through exposing bureaucratic malpractice, according to Belquist's own in the innaugural release of the paper. Sold for a penny (equivalent to Z$0.31 in 2020), the inaugural edition also covered a reception for journalists held by President of Zamastan Alistair Griffiths, a Yuaneze dispute over Gangkou in the Yellow Flag Rebellion, and the commissioning of a new navy vessel in Tofino among a plethora of smaller stories.

In 1924, the paper changed its name to the Tofino Daily Press, and came into wider national prominence during its investigative coverage of President Elias Blanco's extramarital scandal during his election campaign.
