HistoryLocal name; reported in 1903 by G. C. Martin, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Named "Rio de Lagartos" in July, 1779, by Don Ignacio Arteaga. "Arteaga, however, did not reach this stream, so the name must have had some other source than any knowledge he had that there were lagartos, 'lizard' in it", (Wagner, 1937, p. 466). George Davidson, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), called it "Chilkaht" in the 1869 Coast Pilot (p. 146), for the Chilkat subdivision of Tlingit Indians.
