History

A Russian chart dated 1802, shows a fortified post and harbor at this location by the name of "Czar Konstantin and Helena." In 1830, Ivan Chernof of the Russian American Co. referred to it as "Konstantin Harbor." The English form "Constantine," was first reported by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) in 1904. Captain Portlock (1789, map facing p. 227), RN who, with Captain Dixon, Royal Navy (RN), explored the region in 1787, called it "Brooks Harbor."
