Return to Index History & History Related Items St George history: While searching for the northern fur seal breeding grounds for his Russian employer, Lebedoy Lastochkin Company, Gavrill Pribilof discovered the islands in 1786. Originally named Sveti Georgiy, the larger island nearby was calle St. Peter and St. Paul Island. The Russian company brought Aleut hunters and their families here to work in the processing plants and also to hunt for seals. After the US Government took over, the islands were leased to private companies who provided more benefits for the workers. By 1910, the US Bureau of Fisheries took control, but due to over-harvesting of the seals, production had gone down and poverty levels had greatly increased. When the Japanese attacked the Aleutian area, the residents here were relocated to southeast Alaska. In 1979, many received compensation for the slavery conditions that existed during the Russian occupation. Commercial seal harvesting was halted in 1983 The incorporation date of St George: 1983 Return to Index Attractions St George attractions: Information on St. George Island.
