History

Named for Peter Warren Dease by Tomas Simpson (1843, p. 149), August 2, 1837, "for my worthy colleague." The Eskimo name "Kilulea", shown by Commander Rochfort Maguire (Great Britain, 1854, map facing p 186), Royal Navy (RN), May be derived from a word meaning "to the back", hence "inland".
