Athabascan Indian folklore indicates Telida’s descendants are from two sisters, survivors of a Yukon Indian attack, who fled from the Mc Kinley area to Telida Lake where they discovered whitefish at its outlet. Telida is located on the south side of the Swift Fork (Mc Kinley Fork) of the Kuskokwim River, about 50 miles northeast of Medfra. When the course of the Swift Fork changed, the first site was abandoned what is now called “Old Telida.” In 1916, some residents moved to the present day site, “New Telida,” four or five miles downstream from Old Telida. In 1920-21, Telida was a stopping point on the Mc Grath-Nenana Trail, and hundreds of people used the roadhouse. The women were later discovered by stragglers from the Yukon party, who married the women and settled at the lake. The Kuskokwim is generally ice-free from June through October.
