Named about 1871 for Michael Coogan, a soldier with Battery I, Second U.S. Artillery, who in 1871 was reported to have been detailed to extra duty in charge of a wood party. He established a wood-cutting camp on the bay. The Russians called it "B(ukhta) Kadyakskaya" or "Kadyak Bay" (Tebenkov, 1852, map 38).
