History: Named by Captain George Vancouver, Royal Navy (RN), about April 18, 1794.  The Tanaina Indian name, reported by the Russian scientist I. G. Wosnesenski  in 1840, was "Mikischkin" or "Tuchan Tan," "tan," meaning "cape." This point  of land appears to be the same called "Punta de Martinez" by Don Juan de la Bodega y Quadra in 1791. "Perhaps Bodega named it from some account by  Mondofia who was in charge of the launch (that went ashore near there), or  Mondofia himself, who had been with Esteban Martinez in 1788, named it" (Wagner, 1937, p. 471).
Kaltag River (Stream), Yukon-Koyukuk (CA) County, Alaska (64.3344444, -158.7238889)
Description: flows NE to Yukon River, 33 mi. SW of Nulato, Nulato Hills.
History: Indian name reported in 1900 by Lieutenant J. C. Cantwell, U.S. Revenue-Cutter Service (USRCS);  he also gave the name as "Rotokakat," undoubtedly obtained from Father  Julius Jette at Nulato who used the "R" to express the "Kh" sound. This name  would generally agree then with the Indian name "Khotakhkakat" reported in  1842-44 by Lieutenant L. A. Zagoskin, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN). See Khotol River. It appears as if the  present name "Kaltag River" is one of the rare cases where a village gave its name to a stream.
