The present city of Golovin appeared on the 1890 U.S. Census as the native village of Ikaleaveagmiut.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Rr9RAQAAMAAJ&dq=golovin&pg=PA49 |title = Geological Survey Professional Paper|year = 1949}}</ref> In 1900, it would report as Cheennik Village (or Dexter), then an unincorporated village. It would not report again until 1930 when the name was officially reported as Golovin. It would formally incorporate as a city in 1971.

There also were reported the settlements of Golofnin Bay (population 25) and Golofnin City (village) (population 185) on the 1890<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CRcwAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22Annovokhamiut%22&pg=RA2-PA164 |title = Report on Population and Resources of Alaska at the Eleventh Census, 1890|year = 1893|last1 = Census Office|first1 = United States}}</ref> and 1900 censuses, but these may have been separate areas outside of the present day Golovin, with the former described as consisting of four small Inuit settlements (Siningmon, Netsekawik, Ukodlint & Chillimiut) on an unspecified location in the bay area. The 1900 census considered Golofnin City a successor to Golofnin Bay, though it appeared that this community was located at the site of the Golovin (or Golofnin) Mission, a Swedish Evangelical Union mission and reindeer station, which was along the east side of the Golovnin Bay (now since abandoned). To compound the confusion, a post office (called Golovin) was established at the mission in 1899, but closed in 1906. It was then relocated to the present Golovin in 1908 and kept the same name.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Rr9RAQAAMAAJ&dq=%22Agaligamute%22&pg=PA49 |title = Geological Survey Professional Paper|year = 1949}}</ref>
