History of Mount Edgecumbe

Named in 1778 by Captain James Cook, RN, "probably after Mt. Edgecumbe at the entrance of Plymouth Harbor, England, but possibly after George, the first Earl of Edgecouver" (Wagner,1937,p385). This feature was also called "Montana de San Jacinto," or "Saint Jacinto Mountain," on August 16, 1775, by Don Juan de la bodega y Quadra, "in honor of the saint whose day it was" (Wagner,p501); "Gora Svataya Lazarya," or "Saint Lazarus Mountain," by Lieutenant Sarichev (1826,map 19), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN).
