Title
English: Town of Golovin with village of White Mountain on far shore, ca. 1904
Description
English: Caption on image: Town of Chinik, Golovin Bay . On verso of image: White Mountain and Chinik, Alaska
The village of Golovin has had many names, including Chinik. It is located on the point between Golovnin Bay and Golovnin Lagoon, 42 miles east of Solomon, Seward Peninsula. Golovin was originally an Eskimo village. About 1890, one of the employees of the nearby Omalik mines married an Eskimo woman and established a trading post here. With the discovery of gold in 1898, Golovin became a supply-relay point of the Council goldfields to the north. In 1899 the Chenik Post Office was established; it was discontinued ca. 1904, reestablished in 1906 and discontinued again in 1958. The name Golovin, derived from Golovnin Bay and Lagoon, has become well established with only one n. the population was 160 in 1967. (pg. 377) White Mountain is located northwest of Golovin. (pg. 1043) Notes from Donald Orth, Dictionary of Alaska Place Names: Geological Survey Professional Paper 567 (Washington: United States Government Printing Office, 1967).
