History of Chimekliak

Eskimo village reported on an 1898 fieldsheet by W. S. Post, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as "Chim-e-kliag-a-mut"; name was obtained from J. H. Kilbuck, Moravian missionary. "This may be identical with "Chenik" of a Russian Admiralty chart of 1802" (Baker, 1906, p. 178). Ivan Petroff, in the 1880 U.S. Census calls it "Chimiagamute" with 71 people; the 1890 Census lists it as "Chimingyangamute" with 40 people.
