During the Cold War, a US Government White Alice radar site was located on the northeast corner of the island.

In 1792, a battle occurred on Hinchinbrook Island between Yakutat Tlingit and a group of Russians and Kodiak Sugpiaq led by Alexander Baranov.

The Tlingit had likely come to the island seeking retribution after the Chugach Sugpiaq had raided them the previous year.
