History of Lake Clark

Named for John W. Clark, "chief of the Nushagak trading post in 1891 and discoverer of the lake." Probably named by A. B. Schanz, who was with the Frank Leslie Illustrated Newspaper Expedition, and who published the in 1891. According to Schanz, the native name is "Kilchikh-vona," which may represent an Eskimo name with an Indian ending. A Russian map of 1802 shows this lake as "Ilima" (Baker, 1906, p. 186).
