History

Named for Kashega Bay and published by Lieutenant Sarichev (1826, map 14), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), as "S(elo) Koshiga" meaning "Koshiga Village." It was called "Kashuga" by U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (USBF) in 1888. Baker (1906, p. 352) says "in 1831 it was the headquarters of the bidarshik or foreman of the Russian-American Company for the western half of Unalaska***."
