Ill or about 1792, the settlement was removed to this place, which was 

 named St. Paul. It is popularly known as Kodiak. The post-office Kodiak 

 was established here in August, 1888. In the Eleventh Census (p. 74) it is 

 stated that ' ' The place was selected as a central station and headquarters 

 of the Russian fur-trading companies in the year 1789 on account of its 

 good harlior and the close vicinity of good building timber. Previous to 

 the establishment of New Archangel, or Sitka, on its present site Kadiak 

 was also the headquarters of the Russian-American Company. The Rus- 

 sians gave it the name of Paiiovsky gavan (Pavlof's, i. e., Paul's harbor), 

 and- the natives and Creoles of the island speak of it to the present day 

 simply as gavan, or the harbor. The canonization into St. Paul is the result 

 of faulty translation by our map makers." 



The above is not wholly borne out by the record. The Russian 



Lisianski, on his map of 1805, published in 1814, has St. Paul. Pavlof is 



the Russian for Paul. Early Russian charts have Pavlorski gavan, but 



Tebenkof, 1849, has gavan St. Pavla.
