USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
on right bank of Yukon River at mouth of Kandik River, Porcupine Plateau
Former Indian village of which Lieutenant Schwatka (1885b, p. 41and42), USA, wrote, on the 23d of July (1883) we reached another Indian village, called Charley's Village, which is the exact counterpart of the one called Johnny's, even to the number of houses (6) * * *. We met a Canadian voyageur among them who calls them and Johnny's village the Tadoosh Indians, and says they are the most friendly and best natured Indians on this part of the river." Archdeacon Stuck (1917, p. 82) stated that the village was named for a Chief Charley." The village stood until the high water of the 1914 ice breakup when it was washed away, and the natives moved to Circle.
