Three Saints Bay
also known as AHRS SITE KOD 124, is an archaeological site which presumably is on the inlet.
The bay was the site of the first Russian settlement in Alaska in 1784 by Grigory Shelikhov. The bay and settlement were named after one of his ships.
The settlement of Three Saints Bay was moved to the site of present-day Kodiak, Alaska in 1792 when an earthquake and tidal wave destroyed it.
The archaeological site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
