History
Eskimo village reported by Ivan Petroff as "Ilyamna" in the 10th Census in 1880 (1884, p. 17). This site became known as "Old Iliamna" about 1935 after the people moved to a new location. Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 5), Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), recorded the name "Odinochka", which is derived from "odinochnyy," meaning "isolated" or, possibly, "lone house."
