""Prior to 1916 the springs were used only by a few natives who ventured north from Sitka on hunting and trapping expeditions. No improvements were made to the springs, the natives merely using the shallow natural poolsin the ledges."" The springs were originally called ""Hooniah Hot Springs"" by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) on Chart 8050 in 1902, and ""Hooniah Warm Springs"" in the 1908 Coast Pilot (p. 168).
