It was the Ainu who gave Shiretoko its name, originally sir-etok, or "the ends of the Earth." Ethnic Japanese came to Hokkaido in the 13th or 14th century, but it wasn't until the end of the 18th century that they began to exploit its rich fishing grounds in earnest.
By the mid-19th century, Shari had been established as a fishing town at the base of the peninsula.
Shari and Shibetsu are at the base of the peninsula, on opposite sides.
