History

Local name published in 1867 by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS); this stream probably was the "Nocotocargut," meaning "mouth of the Nokot," reported in 1867 by the Western Union Telegraph Expedition. A proposal to change the name to the Gwich'in name Tsèenjik River was not approved by the BGN in 2017.
