History of Dogfish Village

This name is a form of a translation of the Eskimo name reported in Russian by Lieutenant L. A. Zagoskin, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), in 1842-44, as "Ikaligvigmyut" meaning "fish village people." R. H. Sargent, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), shows Dogfish Village on a 1916 field sheet. This place is probably a fishing camp, now consisting o f about 3 cabins. Most of the inhabitants died of influenza in 1900 (Hrdlicka, 1943, p. 63).
