History
Named August 13, 1793, by Captain Vancouver, Royal Navy (RN), for Don Juan Vicente de Guemes Pacheco de Pedilla, Count of Revilla Gigedo and Viceroy of Mexico, 1789-94. "He (Vancouver) was no doubt influenced by the fact that Caamano the year before had given the name to an adjoining channel" (Wagner, 1937, p. 405).
