History

Former Eskimo village reported in the 1880 Census as "Tup-ka-ak," population 15. The 1890 Census listed "Tap-hok" but gave no polulation. A mining camp appears to have been set up here in about 1900 and the 1908 "Map of Seward Peninsula" by Arthur Gibson shows a "Topkok Roadhouse" at this site.
