The island was named in 1857 for Nikolai Chikhachev, commander of the steam-corvette Amerika, whose crew charted the bay. An unlit wooden beacon was erected in 1898, followed by a lit lighthouse and fog bell in 1915. The rocky, uninhabited island was tended for about a decade by just a married couple, with the wife largely responsible for ringing the bell during frequent fogs; the station was automated with an acetylene light in 1928. A new stone lighthouse building was constructed in 1951 and electrified in 1965, and it now shows a white long-flashing light visible to 23 miles, marking the entrance to Olga Bay.

Из книги «Маяки России» (2001)
Источник: Комарицын А. А., Корякин В. И., Романов В. Г. «Маяки России (исторические очерки)». СПб.: ГУНиО МО РФ, 2001 (доп. тираж 2005).
В июле 1857 года пароходокорвет “Америка”, следовавший с дипломатической миссией генерал-адъютанта Е. В. Путятина в Китай, зашел в неизвестный ранее залив. Так как произошло это в День святой Ольги, залив при его описи офицерами “Америки” назвали этим женским именем, а остров в северо-восточной части залива получил имя командира корабля Николая Матвеевича Чихачева (впоследствии адмирала, управляющего Морским министерством, члена Государственного совета). Как сообщает “Лоция северо-западной части Восточного океана” (1914), остров Чихачева имеет в длину и в ширину около 4,5 км, с южной стороны приглубый, с моря кажется белым. С восточной и южной сторон он отвесно скалистый, а с западной пологий и безлесный; от северной его оконечности по направлению к северу тянется каменистый риф. Так как остров служит главным естественным ориентиром опознания входа в залив Ольги, на самом высоком обрыве его Залив Ольги и остров Чихачева южного берега в 1898 году была установлена деревянная шестиугольная несветящая белая башня высотой 12,6 м. В хорошую погоду она была видна с расстояния в 20 миль. В 1915 году дополнительно к башне, на высоте 110 м от уровня моря установили световой маяк и колокол для туманных сигналов. Новая башня также была восьмигранной, но высоту имела всего 1,5 м. В фонарном сооружении был установлен диоптрический светооптический осветительный аппарат 6-го разряда. Скалистый голый остров был необитаем, и обслуживать маяк было очень трудно. Около 10 лет после постройки этим занималось всего два человека — муж и жена. Как свидетельствуют архивные документы, вахту на маяке почти непрерывно несла жена (к сожалению, имя ее
в документах не названо). Когда на остров опускался туман, а случалось это очень часто, ей приходилось “почти постоянно, по нескольку дней подряд” звонить в колокол. Нанимать людей на службу на таком маяке было очень трудно, и в 1928 году его перевели на автоматический режим работы, установив на крыше башни ацетиленовый аппарат в фонаре. Втаком виде маяк простоял до 1951 года, когда на острове на высоте 111 м от уровня моря построили новое белое каменное маячно-техническое здание с белой четырехгранной башней высотой 12 м. Маяк оборудован современным электрическим (линия электропередачи подведена в 1965 году с материкового берега) светооптическим аппаратом, освещающим пространство белым длительнопроблесковым огнем на расстояние до 23 миль. Маяк надежно обеспечивает вход в залив Ольги и плавание вдоль восточного побережья Японского моря.
