History of Cape Paramanof

Name derived from Paramanof Bay and published by the Russian- American Company in 1849 as "M(ys) Paramonovskoy" (Tanaak). The Russian Hydrographic Dept. published the Aleut Name "M(ys) Tanaak" or "Cape Tanaak," for this feature in 1847 on Chart 1378, perhaps from the word ("tanag" which, according to R. H. Geoghegan, means "land" or "place."
