History

Named for Hayward Malcolm Hutchinson, businessman, one of the first Americans to reach Sitka in 1867. He bought the property of the Russian American Company, forming Hutchinson, Kohl and Company. In 1872 it in turn was bought by the Alaska Commercial Company, which had secured the lease of the fur-seal rookeries of the Pribilof Islands. The name "Hutchinson Hill" is shown on Elliott's map of Saint Paul Island, prepared in 1873-74.
