History of Le Conte Bay

Named in 1887 by Lieutenant Commander CM Thomas, U.S. Navy (USN), for Joseph Leconte, professor of geology at the University of California at that time. The Indian name is "Hutli," reported by John Muir, in 1884, for "the Tlingits' mythical thunder bird, the flapping of whose wings produces the thunder."
