History
The first people who would permanently stay in the village moved there from Kodiak Island in 1847 before the Alaska Purchase. The 1880, United States Census listed 53 "Creoles" living in Ninilchik in nine extended families. The name Ninilchik probably derives from Niqnilchint, a Deni'ana Athabaskan word meaning ”lodge is built place”. Their dialect of Russian (plus a few words borrowed from Alaska Native languages) was the primary language spoken in Ninilchik long past the purchase of Alaska by the US in 1896. In 1896, a school was built.
