Former site of a large Unangax̂ population that lived here for approximately 2,500 years. The village site was abandoned approximately 600 years ago due to major volcanic activity. A Russian trading post was established here in 1799 and served as the westernmost office for the Russian-American company, with the inhabitants being a mix of Russian settlers and Unangax̂. After Russia sold Alaska to the United States in 1867, Korovinki's residents moved to what is now Atka.
Remains include sod walls, garden plots, boat slips, a Russian Orthodox cemetery, and animal pens.
