History

Translation of a Russian name reported in 1817 Lieutenant Otto von Kotzebue, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), as "Veselofski," probably from the name of the village located on this point. It was published by Lieutenant Sarichev (1826, map 15), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), as "m(ys) Veselovskiy," meaning "Cape Cheerful."
