History of Coast Mountains

In 1870, Dall (p. 286) wrote: "The Coast or St. Elias Range contains the highest peaks and most of the volcanoes. It extends along the whole northwest coast from California to the peninsula of Alaska." The name "Coast Mountains" was standardized and the mountains were defined as above by the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names (CPCGN) in 1902. See Coast Range.
