Evans Island and the ocean around it was polluted by the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill . Evans Island was called ''Hoodoo Island'' before 1912. The name frightened some sailors. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey renamed the island in honor of United States Navy Admiral Robley Evans (1846-1912), who had been a maritime policeman in the area early in his career.
