Hornopirén was established in the 19th century, primarily as a fishing village. Its location along the fjord made it an ideal spot for maritime activities, and it gradually developed into a small community.

The town's growth was influenced by the construction of the Carretera Austral in the 1970s, which improved access to the region. Today, Hornopirén remains a quiet destination, attracting visitors seeking natural beauty and outdoor adventures.
