The Tõrvakõplased were the people living on the Kõpu peninsula on the island of Hiiumaa. Very resinous pines grew on the sand dunes there, yielding high-quality, much-prized tar. Tar burning earned them a good living and gave them the name Tõrvakõplased (“tar people of Kõpu”). They were very proud of their trade.
