Mount Alava is named for Brigadier-General Don Jose Manuel de Alava, the last commander of the briefly lived Spanish settlement on Nootka Sound. It was it Alava who presided over the formal abandonment of the Spanish stronghold in March 1795 as required by the Nootka Convention. The political vacuum created by the Nootka Convention set the final stage in the contest for control of the Pacific northwest between the fledgling USA and the British Crown.
