Since antiquity, the modern territory of Hachuabsh has been continuously inhabited by several major ethnic groups, including the along the central coast as well as the  and  in the interior.

Traditionally, Hachuabsh has been an important trading crossroads between Sinju and the Yeongju.

Due to a variety of factors- including luck, relative political unity, location, and a lack of desired commodities in comparison to other areas of Yeongju such as Nochtlico- Hachuabsh managed to avoid colonization by the Sinju powers. Beginning in the 1860s, a massive modernization and Centerization campaign was carried out by elites that dramatically restructured the politics, economy, and society of Hachuabsh; transforming the country into an industrialized great power. Hachuabsh went on to establish a throughout West Yeongju.

However, a brutal war over the island of Hweshed with Meisaan and Jeongmi from 1915 to 1918 resulted in a socialist revolution that once again drastically upended Hachuabshi society.

Prehistory and Antiquity
Hachuabsh is likely to have been inhabited by early forms of as early as 125,000 years ago. were present in the area by 10,000 BCE, after the end of the last. Evidence has established that a small settlement at S’abš has existed since at least 3,000 BCE.

The first inhabitants of the central Hachuabshi coast were known as the Ti Sqa. The Ti Sqa sustained themselves through early forms of, especially of salmon and such as  from lakes. The Ti Sqa were heavily reliant on spring, which they exploited through the use of intricate ‘’stukwalukw,’’ or fishing weirs. , and other marine invertebrates gathered from  and  as well as  and  foraged from the foothills were important supplements to the fish-heavy diet of the Ti Sqas.

Early Ti Sqas practiced during late summer and early autumn in order to maintain lowland prairies and grassland for harvesting economically significant plants, especially camas,, and. Later on, these practices would become more commonplace and standardized as cultivation of and  was slowly introduced to Hachuabsh throughout the first and second millennium BCE.

By 800 CE the Ti Sqas had established a network of interconnected villages and settlements throughout the and island chains of central and northern Hachuabsh, as well as the northern coast of Hweshed. Widespread usage of ocean-going canoes built from allowed for sea-based trade and warfare. Hachuabshi records indicate that some expeditions, usually sponsored by rich households in a village, reached as far as Kealekekua. This period was characterized by increasing movement toward a complex and hierarchical society, with the development of an upper class nobility. were acquired through war with other Hachuabshi clans as well as the upriver and. Wealthy Ti Sqas built large, ceremonial long houses with intricate designs that form the basis of the Hachuabshi artistic tradition.

Qwa Confederacy
From the 13th century until the early 19th century coastal Hachuabsh was slowly consolidated under a tight-knit confederacy of clans known as the “Qwa clique” centered around the modern city of Túlq at the Hibulb river estuary. The Qwa’s expansion throughout this period drew it into multiple conflicts with its rich neighbor(s) to the northwest (Illahee) whom were eventually conquered and incorporated into the budding empire. This resulted in the spread of Hwulshucid (North & South Puget Sound Lushootseed) from the central coast of Hachuabsh, which became the informal lingua franca of the region.

Modern Era


In 1864 Hokan invaded Hweshed off the southern Hachuabshi coast in order to gain direct control over the island’s rich whaling waters. The quick nature of their defeat shocked Qwa elites and underscored the growing military superiority of the industrialized Sinju powers. Several unequal treaties were forced upon the Qwa at the end of the war, opening up the country to exports from the Sinju countries, devastating local cottage industries and the wider Habchuaschi economy.

The chaotic and revolutionary environment following the war allowed reformist factions to gain control over the ruling clique of clans in Túlq. In the ensuing years massive institutional reforms were undertaken, beginning with the abolition of slavery and the gradual transition from a lineage and clan-based land ownership system to a Sinju model of private ownership.

By 1867 the reformists had achieved a major coup by completely abolishing the clan/confederacy political structure, establishing a centralized state which was to be organized largely along the lines of the modern Sinju empires (and ruled by the reformists as oligarchs). This drastic move sparked discontent among the rich and powerful clans of modern-day Illahee, where a rebellion was defeated in 1868 by a newly established central army.
