History of Nichols Hills

Named in 1890 by U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF) probably for Commander Henry Ezra Nichols, U.S. Navy (USN), of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) steamer Hassler, who wrote a revised edition of the 1891 Coast Pilot. A descriptive name "Ushki," meaning "Ears," was given by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 4), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN).
