The following is a timeline that I have put together using the available information from the Jak and Daxter video games, Strategy Guides, Design Bibles and Wiki. Dates before the founding of Haven City by Mar I are labelled BHE (Before Haven Era) while events after the foundation of Haven City are labelled HE (Haven Era). Note that this dating system is not canon and is just my own invention.
