LOCATION Adak is located on Kuluk Bay on Adak Island. It lies 1,300 miles southwest of Anchorage and 350 miles west
of Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, in the Aleutian Island Chain. Flight time to Anchorage is three hours. Adak is the
southern-most community in Alaska, on the latitude of Vancouver Island in Canada.
ECONOMY A land exchange between Aleut Corp., the U.S. Navy, and the Department of the Interior has transferred most
of the naval facilities to the Aleut Corp. A portion of the Island remains within the National Maritime National
Wildlife Refuge, managed by U.S. Fish & Wildlife. Adak currently provides a fueling port and crew transfer
facility for foreign fishing fleets -- an airport, docks, housing facilities, restaurant, grocery and ship supply store
are available. Contractors are performing an environmental clean-up. Norquest-Adak Seafood Co. processes
Pacific cod, pollock, mackerel, halibut, albacore and brown king crab. Four residents hold commercial fishing
permits, primarily for groundfish.
HISTORY The Aleutian Islands were historically occupied by the Unangas. The once heavily-populated island was
eventually abandoned in the early 1800s as the Aleutian Island hunters followed the Russian fur trade
eastward, and famine set in on the Andreanof Island group. However, they continued to actively hunt and fish
around the island over the years, until World War II broke out. Adak Army installations allowed U.S. forces to
mount a successful offensive against the Japanese-held islands of Kiska and Attu. After the War, Adak was
developed as a Naval Air Station, playing an important role during the Cold War as a submarine surveillance
center. Large earthquakes rocked the Island in 1957, 1964 and 1977. At its peak, the station housed 6,000
naval personnel and their families. In 1994, severe cut-backs occurred, and family housing and schools were
closed. The station officially closed on March 31, 1997, and currently houses civilians. The Aleut Corporation
acquired Adak's facilities under a land transfer agreement, pending with the Department of the Interior and the
U.S. Navy/Department of Defense. Properties are currently under lease. About 30 families with children
relocated to Adak in September 1998, most of them Aleut Corp. shareholders, and a school was reopened.
Aleut Corp. is currently developing Adak as a commercial center. The community formed a Second Class City
government in April 2001.

POPULATION 628
LOCATION Akiachak is located on the west bank of the Kuskokwim River, on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. It lies 18 miles
northeast of Bethel.
ECONOMY The majority of year-round employment in Akiachak is in education and other public services. The Yupiit
School District headquarters are located in the community. Residents rely on seasonal employment such as
commercial fishing, construction and BLM fire-fighting. 70 residents hold commercial fishing permits, and
some work at canneries in Bristol Bay. The community is developing a fish processing facility and freezer.
Subsistence activities provide most food sources. Poor fish returns since 1997 have significantly affected the
community.
HISTORY The area was used by the Yup'ik Eskimos as a seasonal subsistence site. Called Akiakchagamiut" in the 1890
census the village had a population of 43 at that time. A post office was established in 1934. It incorporated
as a second-class city on February 7 1974. The city government was dissolved on January 31 1990 in favor
of traditional village council governance."

LOCATION Akutan is located on Akutan Island in the eastern Aleutians, one of the Krenitzin Islands of the Fox Island
group. It is 35 miles east of Unalaska, and 766 air miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Commercial fish processing dominates Akutan's cash-based economy, and many locals are seasonally
employed. Trident Seafoods operates a large processing plant west of the City for cod, crab, pollock and fish
meal. The population of Akutan can double during processing months. Seven residents hold commercial
fishing permits, primarily for halibut and other groundfish. Subsistence foods include seal, salmon, herring,
halibut, clams, wild cattle, and game birds.
HISTORY Akutan began in 1878 as a fur storage and trading port for the Western Fur & Trading Company. The
company's agent established a commercial cod fishing and processing business that quickly attracted nearby
Unangan to the community. A Russian Orthodox church and a school were built in 1878. Alexander Nevsky
Chapel was built in 1918 to replace the original structure. The Pacific Whaling Company built a whale
processing station across the bay from Akutan in 1912. It was the only whaling station in the Aleutians, and
operated until 1939. After the Japanese attacked Unalaska in June 1942, the U.S. government evacuated
Akutan residents to the Ketchikan area. The village was re-established in 1944, although many villagers chose
not to return. This exposure to the outside world brought many changes to the traditional lifestyle and attitudes
of the community. The City was incorporated in 1979.

POPULATION 681
LOCATION Alakanuk is located at the east entrance of Alakanuk Pass, the major southern channel of the Yukon River, 15
miles from the Bering Sea. It is part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. It lies 8 miles southwest of
Emmonak, approximately 162 air miles northwest of Bethel. It is the longest village on the lower Yukon - the
development stretches over a 3 mile area along the Pass. Approximately 25 homes along the bank are being
threatened by erosion.
ECONOMY Alakanuk experiences a seasonal economy. 76 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Many have gill net
permits, and set net fishermen sell their salmon to Seattle fish buyers. Poor fish returns since 1998 have
significantly affected the community. Government employment and retail businesses provide limited year-
round employment. Salmon, beluga whale, seal, moose and rabbit provide food sources. Some residents
trap. Many residents travel to Emmonak to shop and attend social events and basketball tournaments.
HISTORY Alakanuk is a Yup'ik word meaning wrong way aptly applied to a village on this maze of watercourses. The
village was first reported by G.R. Putnam of the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey in 1899. It was originally settled
by a Yup'ik shaman named Anguksuar and his family. A Catholic mission school was built near the village. A
post office was established in 1946. In 1948, the school was relocated to St. Mary's, and many families moved
from the old school site to Alakanuk. It incorporated as a second-class city in 1969.

Aleknagik
POPULATION 237
LOCATION Aleknagik is located at the head of Wood River on the southeast end of Lake Aleknagik, 16 miles northwest of
Dillingham.
ECONOMY Many residents participate in commercial and subsistence activities on the Bristol Bay coast during the
summer. 33 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Trapping is also an important means of income. Most
families depend to some extent on subsistence activities to supplement their livelihoods. Salmon, freshwater
fish, moose, caribou, and berries are harvested. Poor fish returns and prices since 1997 have significantly
affected the community.
HISTORY Wood River and Aleknagik Lake have been used historically as summer fish camps. Aleknagik means "Wrong
Way Home," because Natives returning to their homes along the Nushagak River would sometimes become
lost in the fog and find themselves swept up the Wood River with the tide, inadvertently arriving at Aleknagik
Lake. The 1929 U.S. Census found 55 people living in the "Wood River village" area to the south. During 1930,
there were five families living on the shores of the lake year-round, the Waskeys. Polleys, Hansons, Yakos,
and Smiths. A log cabin territorial school was built on the south shore of the lake in 1933, and Josie Waskey
was the first teacher. Attracted by the school, other facilities, and plentiful fish, game and timber, a number of
families from Goodnews, Togiak, and Kulukak area relocated to Aleknagik. A post office was established in
1937. A two-story framed school with a teacher apartment was constructed in 1938. By 1939, Aleknagik had 78
residents, over 30 buildings, and a small sawmill. In the late 1940s, a Seventh-Day Adventist Mission and
School was established on the north shore. During the 1950s, a Moravian Church and a Russian Orthodox
Church were built in Aleknagik and over 35 families lived along the lake. In 1959, the state constructed a 25-
mile road connecting the south shore to Dillingham. The road was passable only during the summer months,
until the late 1980s, when it was upgraded and maintained year-round. The City was incorporated in 1973.
Over 24 additional square miles were annexed to the City in April 2000.

POPULATION 95
LOCATION Allakaket is on the south bank of the Koyukuk River, southwest of its junction with the Alatna River,
approximately 190 air miles northwest of Fairbanks and 57 miles upriver from Hughes. The village of Alatna is
located directly across the river.
ECONOMY Most cash jobs are part-time or seasonal. The primary year-round employers are the school, City, Tribe and
village corporation store. Construction and BLM emergency firefighting provide summer jobs. A few earn
income from trapping or selling traditional Native handicrafts. Subsistence is the focus of the local economy.
Salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, small game and berries provide most food sources. Caribou are taken when
available.
HISTORY Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Selawik, and
Nunamiut Eskimos from the north and northwest. The Koyukon lived in several camps throughout the year,
moving as the seasons changed, following the wild game and fish. The various bands established joint
settlements after 1851. The old site of Alatna was a traditional trading center for Athabascans and Eskimos.
The first mission on the Koyukuk River, St. John's-in-the-Wilderness Episcopal Mission, was established in
1906. A post office was opened in 1925. In 1938, the name of the community was changed to Allakaket (the
old name for the mission), and the name Alatna was assumed by the small Eskimo community across the
river. The first public school was established in 1957. A flood caused by ice jamming inundated 85% of the
community in the Spring of 1964. In 1975, the community incorporated as a City, including both settlements of
Allakaket and Alatna. A clinic and airport were built in 1978. A new school and community roads were built in
1979. In September 1994, flood waters destroyed and swept away nearly all of the community's buildings,
homes, and food caches for the winter. Residents rebuilt near the old City site, but some new homes and
facilities are now located outside of the incorporated City boundaries. New Allakaket and Alatna are located
outside of the City limits.

POPULATION 278
LOCATION Ambler is located on the north bank of the Kobuk River, near the confluence of the Ambler and the Kobuk
Rivers. It lies 45 miles north of the Arctic Circle. It is 138 miles northeast of Kotzebue, 30 miles northwest of
Kobuk and 30 miles downriver from Shungnak.
ECONOMY Cash employment is limited to the school, City, clinic, and local stores, and some mining occurs. Five
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence is a major part of the local economy. Chum salmon
and caribou are the most important food sources. Freshwater fish, moose, bear, and berries are also
harvested. Birch baskets, fur pelts, and jade, quartz, bone and ivory carvings are sold in gift shops throughout
the state. The community is interested in developing a lapidary facility for local artisans.
HISTORY Ambler is named after Dr. James M. Ambler, U.S. Navy, surgeon on the U.S.S. Jeannette, who perished in
1881 in the Lena River delta while with the Arctic expedition under the command of Lt. Comdr. G.W. DeLong
(1879-1880.) Ambler was permanently settled in 1958 when people from Shungnak and Kobuk moved
upstream because of the variety of fish, wild game and spruce trees in the area. An archaeological site is
located nearby at Onion Portage. A post office was established in 1963. The City was incorporated in 1971.

Anaktuvuk Pass
POPULATION 277
LOCATION Anaktuvuk Pass, at 2,200 feet elevation on the divide between the Anaktuvuk and John Rivers in the central
Brooks Range, is the last remaining settlement of the Nunamiut (inland northern Inupiat Eskimo).
ECONOMY Economic and employment opportunities are limited in Anaktuvuk Pass, due to its isolation. Hunting and
trapping for the sale of skins, guiding hunters, or making traditional Caribou skin masks or clothing provides
income. Some residents have seasonal employment outside of the community. Caribou is the primary source
of meat; other subsistence foods include trout, grayling, moose, sheep, brown bear, ptarmigan and water fowl.
HISTORY Nunamiut bands left the Brooks Range and scattered due to the collapse of caribou in 1926-27, and also
because of cultural changes brought by the influx of western civilization. In 1938, however, several Nunamiut
families left the coast and returned to the mountains at Killik River and Chandler Lake. In 1949, the Chandler
Lake group moved to Anaktuvuk Pass (the place of caribou droppings") where they were later joined by the
Killik River group. This settlement attracted Nunamiut from many other locations and villagers today lead a
somewhat more sedentary lifestyle than in earlier nomadic times. The City was incorporated in 1959. A
Presbyterian Church was constructed in 1966."

POPULATION 283938
LOCATION Anchorage, the most populated municipality in Alaska, is located in southcentral Alaska at the head of Cook
Inlet. It is 3 hours' flight time from Seattle.
ECONOMY Anchorage is the center of commerce for the state. Oil and gas industries, finance and real estate,
transportation, communications, and government agencies are headquartered in Anchorage. Numerous visitor
and tourist facilities and services are available. Over 8,500 military personnel are stationed at Fort Richardson
and Elmendorf AFB. Seasonal factors contribute to a fluctuating, though low, unemployment rate. 912
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Most permit-owners fish in Bristol Bay, Kodiak or Cordova.
HISTORY In 1741 Russian sailors led by the Dane Vitus Bering came upon Alaska's mainland. They were followed by
British, Spanish and American explorers, including Captain James Cook in 1778. In 1867, Alaska was
purchased by the U.S. from Russia. The discovery of gold in 1887 and in the Interior in 1922 sparked
development in the area. Construction began in 1914 on a federal railroad from the port of Seward, 126 miles
south of Anchorage, through the coal fields of Interior Alaska, to the gold claims near Fairbanks, 358 miles to
the north. The midpoint construction headquarters was Anchorage, and by July of 1915, thousands of job
seekers and opportunists had poured into the area, living in a tent city on the banks of Ship Creek near the
edge of the present downtown. That July produced the Great Anchorage Lot Sale a land auction that shaped
the future of the city. Some 655 lots were sold for $148,000 or an average of $225 each. A month later, the
town voted to call itself Alaska City, but the Federal government refused to change its name from Anchorage.
The City of Anchorage was incorporated on Nov. 23, 1920. From 1939 to 1957, major military impacts and
government construction of roads, airports and harbors throughout Alaska contributed to the growth of
Anchorage. The Port was completed by the early 1960s. The Greater Anchorage Area Borough was formed
on Jan. 1, 1964. The Good Friday earthquake in 1964 destroyed a large part of the city. During the 1970s, the
development of the Prudhoe Bay oil fields and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline brought rapid growth to Anchorage;
population, office space and housing tripled within a ten-year period. On Sept. 15, 1975, the City and Borough
governments were unified, along with the cities of Girdwood and Glen Alps.

POPULATION 478
LOCATION Angoon is the only permanent settlement on Admiralty Island, located on the southwest coast at Kootznahoo
Inlet. Angoon is 55 miles southwest of Juneau and 41 miles northeast of Sitka.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing is a major source of income; 56 residents hold commercial fishing permits, primarily hand-
trolling for king and coho salmon. Low salmon prices have affected incomes. A shellfish farm was recently
funded by state and federal grants. The Chatham School District is the primary employer. Logging on Prince
of Wales Island provide occasional jobs. Subsistence remains an important part of the lifestyle. Local
resources include deer, salmon, bear, halibut, shellfish, geese, seaweed and berries.
HISTORY Admiralty Island has long been the home of the Kootznoowoo Tlingit tribe. Kootznoowoo means "fortress of
bears." From the 1700s to the mid-1800s, fur trading was the major money-making activity in the area. In 1878,
the Northwest Trading Company established a trading post and whaling station on nearby Killisnoo Island and
villagers were employed to hunt whales. Whaling, a BIA school and a Russian Orthodox Church attracted
many Tlingits to Killisnoo. In 1882, a whaling vessel's harpoon charge accidentally misfired and exploded,
killing a Native crewmember - a Tlingit shaman, or medicine man. Villagers demanded payment of 200
blankets to the man's family, as was customary. The Northwest Trading Co. felt threatened and sought
assistance from the U.S. Navy at Sitka. The village and a summer camp were subsequently shelled and
destroyed by the Navy Cutter U.S.S. Corwin. Native accounts of the attack claim six children died by smoke
inhalation. In 1973, Angoon won a $90,000 out-of-court settlement from the Federal government for the 1882
bombardment. Whaling did not last long, and the company switched to herring processing. During this time,
many Tlingits moved to Killisnoo for employment at the plant. In 1928, Killisnoo was destroyed by fire, and
many Tlingits returned to Angoon. The Angoon post office was established in 1928. A city was formed in 1963.
Many summer homes have developed on Killisnoo Island.

POPULATION 506
LOCATION Aniak is located on the south bank of the Kuskokwim River at the head of Aniak Slough, 59 miles southeast of
Russian Mission in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. It lies 92 air miles northeast of Bethel and 317 miles west of
Anchorage.
ECONOMY The economy of Aniak is based on government, transportation and retail services. As the largest city in the
area, Aniak is a service hub for surrounding villages. Subsistence activities supplement part-time wage
earnings, and some commercial fishing occurs. Poor fish returns since 1997 have affected the community.
Fourteen residents hold commercial fishing permits. The School District, Kuskokwim Native Assoc., Bush-Tell
Inc., and the Aniak Subregional Clinic provide most year-round employment. Salmon, moose, bear, birds,
berries and home gardening provide food sources.
HISTORY Aniak is a Yup'ik word meaning the place where it comes out which refers to the mouth of the Aniak River.
This river played a key role in the placer gold rush of 1900-01. In 1914, Tom L. Johnson homesteaded the site
and opened a store and post office. The Yup'ik village of Aniak had been abandoned long before this time.
Eskimos Willie Pete and Sam Simeon brought their families from Ohagamuit to Aniak, which reestablished the
Native community. A Russian-era trader named Semen Lukin is credited with the discovery of gold near Aniak
in 1932. A Territorial school opened in 1936. Construction of an airfield began in 1939, followed by the
erection of the White Alice radar-relay station in 1956, which closed in 1978. The City was incorporated in
1972.

POPULATION 102
LOCATION Anvik is located in Interior Alaska on the Anvik River, west of the Yukon River, 34 miles north of Holy Cross.
ECONOMY Anvik is characterized by a seasonal economy. Very few year-round wage-earning positions are available.
Residents rely heavily on subsistence activities. Fourteen residents hold commercial fishing permits. The City
provides services, such as fresh water, to fish processors. Subsistence foods include salmon, moose, black
bear, and small game. Several residents trap or make handicrafts, and many families engage in home
gardening.
HISTORY Anvik has historically been an Ingalik Indian village. It has been known as American Station, Anvic, Anvick,
Anvig, Anvig Station, and Anwig. The Russian Glazanov reported it having 100 people in 1834. Originally it
was on other side of the river, to the northeast, at a place called the point. Residents gradually moved across
the river with the establishment of an Episcopal mission and school in 1887. A post office opened in 1897.
After the flu epidemic of 1918-19, and another in 1927, many orphans became wards of the mission. Some
children came from as far away as Fort Yukon. Sternwheelers carried supplies to the village in the early
1920s. Some residents had contracts to cut wood for the sternwheeler's fuel, and fish and furs were sold to
traders. The early 1930s brought the first arrival of a plane on skis. The City was incorporated in 1969.

Arctic Village
POPULATION 155
LOCATION Arctic Village is on the east fork of the Chandalar River, 100 miles north of Fort Yukon and 290 miles north of
Fairbanks.
ECONOMY The economy of Arctic Village is subsistence-based. Caribou, moose, sheep, porcupine, rabbit and ptarmigan
are hunted. Freshwater fish, waterfowl and berries are also harvested. The school, clinic, village council and
stores are the primary employers. Seasonal employment includes construction, fire fighting, guiding and
conducting wildlife surveys for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Some residents trap or sell firewood for
income. The Tribe operates the washeteria and clinic.
HISTORY Until the 1950s, the Neets'aii Gwichin ("residents of the north side") lived a highly nomadic life. They
traditionally used seasonal camps and semi-permanent settlements, such as Arctic Village, Christian, Venetie
and Sheenjak, in pursuit of fish and game. They traded with Inupiat Eskimos on the Arctic coast. There is
archaeological evidence that the Arctic Village area was population as early as 4,500 BC. In 1863, Archdeacon
McDonald of Fort Yukon observed that the Chandalar Kutchin were important providers of caribou meat for the
residents of Ft. Yukon. Reverend Albert Tritt, a Neets'aii Gwich'in born in 1880, wrote that his people led a
nomadic life, traveling to the Arctic coast, Rampart, Old Crow, the Coleen River and Fort Yukon in the 1880s
and 1890s. With the advent of firearms in the early 1900s, family groups began to gather more permanently at
several locations; there was no longer a need to disperse into small groups to hunt caribou. The first
permanent resident at the present village site was Chief Christian in 1909. In 1943, the Venetie Indian
Reservation was established, due to the efforts of several area villagers to protect their land for subsistence
use. The first school was built in 1959. When the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in
1971, Venetie and Arctic Village opted for title to the 1.8 million acres of land in the former Reservation.
Residents continue to use the community as a base of operations from which they pursue seasonal
subsistence activities.

POPULATION 74
LOCATION Atka is located on Atka Island, 1,200 air miles southwest from Anchorage and 350 miles west of Unalaska.
ECONOMY The economy is based on subsistence living and wages earned from the halibut fishery. A small local fish
processing plant, Atka Pride Seafoods, operates seasonally to serve the local fleet. They currently process
halibut and black cod. Nine residents hold commercial fishing permits. A number of offshore fish processors
carry out crew changes through Atka. Year-round income opportunities in the village are limited to education-
and government-related work. A reindeer herd of over 2,500 head provides a source of meat.
HISTORY The island has been occupied by Unangas for at least 2,000 years. Unangas speak the western dialect, known
since the Russian era as "Aleuts". Recent archaeological evidence indicates that the present village site may
have had human use since prehistoric times. The first contact with Russians occurred in 1747, and Atka
became an important trade site and safe harbor for Russians. In 1787 a number of hunters were enslaved and
relocated to the Pribilofs to work in the fur seal harvest. The townsite was settled in the 1860s. After the end of
the sea otter hunting era in the late 1800s, Atka had no viable cash economy. Reindeer were introduced to the
Island in 1914. During the 1920s, Atka became relatively affluent due to fox farming. After the Japanese
attacked Unalaska and seized Attu and Kiska in June 1942, the U.S. Government evacuated Atka residents to
the Ketchikan area. Atka was burned to the ground to prevent Japanese forces from using it and advancing.
The community was rebuilt by the U.S. Navy after the War and residents were allowed to return. Many Attu
villagers, released from imprisonment in Japan in 1945, relocated to Atka. This exposure to the outside world
brought many changes in the traditional culture and attitudes in the community. The City was incorporated in
1988.

LOCATION Atmautluak lies on the west bank of the Pitmiktakik River in the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, 20 miles northwest of
Bethel.
ECONOMY The school, retail businesses and the village government provide cash income to supplement the subsistence
lifestyle. Thirty-one residents hold commercial fishing permits. Poor fish returns since 1997 have significantly
affected the community.
HISTORY Yup'ik Eskimos have inhabited this region for thousands of years due to the area's rich resources, however
Atmautluak itself was not settled until the 1960s. People moved to this site on higher ground to avoid flooding
and for the rich resources of the area. A City was incorporated in 1976, but it was dissolved on Feb. 7, 1996 in
favor of the traditional village council government.

LOCATION Atqasuk is located on the Meade River, 60 miles south of Barrow.
ECONOMY Education and other government services provide the majority of full-time employment in Atqasuk.
Subsistence activities provide food sources. Grayling, white fish, caribou, geese, ptarmigan, polar bear, seal,
walrus and whale are harvested and traded. Residents trap and sell furs to supplement cash income.
HISTORY The area has traditionally been hunted and fished by Inupiat Eskimos. The name means "the place to dig the
rock that burns." During World War II, bituminous coal was mined in Atqasuk and freighted to Barrow for use
by government and private facilities. The village had a post office from 1951 to 1957 under the name Meade
River. There were no people in Atqasuk in 1970, but the community was re-established around 1977, primarily
by former residents of Barrow. The City was incorporated in 1982.

LOCATION Barrow, the northernmost community in North America, is located on the Chukchi Sea coast, 10 miles south of
Point Barrow from which it takes its name. It lies 725 air miles from Anchorage.
ECONOMY Barrow is the economic center of the North Slope Borough, the city's primary employer, and numerous
businesses provide support services to oil field operations. State and federal agencies also provide
employment. The midnight sun has attracted tourism, and arts and crafts provide some cash income. Seven
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Many residents rely upon subsistence food sources: whale, seal,
polar bear, walrus, duck, caribou and grayling and whitefish are harvested from the coast or nearby rivers and
lakes.
HISTORY Archaeological sites in the area indicate habitation from 500 to 900 A.D. Inupiat traditionally depend on
subsistence marine mammal hunting, supplemented by inland hunting and fishing. Archaeological remains of
sixteen dwelling mounds from the Birnirk culture exist today. Barrow was named for Sir John Barrow, 2nd
Secretary of the British Admiralty. Barrow's Eskimo name is known as Ukpeagvik (place where owls are
hunted.) In 1881, the U.S. Army established a meteorological and magnetic research station near Barrow.
The Cape Smythe Whaling and Trading Station was constructed here in 1893. A Presbyterian Church was
established in 1899, and a post office was opened in 1901. Exploration of the Naval Petroleum Reserve
Number 4 (now National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, NPR-A) began in 1946. The Naval Arctic Research
Laboratory, 3 miles north of Barrow, soon followed. The City was incorporated in 1958. Formation of the North
Slope Borough in 1972, the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, and construction of the Prudhoe Bay oil fields
and Trans-Alaska Pipeline have each contributed to the development of Barrow. Today, tax revenues from the
North Slope oil fields fund borough-wide services.

LOCATION Beaver is located on the north bank of the Yukon River, approximately 60 air miles southwest of Fort Yukon
and 110 miles north of Fairbanks. It lies in the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY Almost all Beaver residents are involved in subsistence activities. Moose, salmon, freshwater fish, bear and
waterfowl supply meat. Poor fish returns since 1998 have significantly affected the community. Gardening and
berry-picking are popular activities. Most wage employment is at the school, post office, clinic and village
council. Seasonal wages are earned through BLM fire fighting, construction jobs, trapping, producing
handicrafts or selling cut firewood.
HISTORY Gold discoveries in the Chandalar region in 1907 led to the founding of Beaver. It was established as the
Yukon River terminus for miners heading north to the gold fields. The Alaska Road Commission built a trail
from Beaver north to Caro on the Chandalar River around 1907. In 1910, Thomas Carter and H.E. Ashelby
established a store at Beaver, and three freight companies operated on the trail, commonly known as
Government Road. In 1911, about the time the gold rush was over, Frank Yasuda, a Japanese who had
traded at Point Barrow and prospected in the Brooks Range, arrived with a group of Eskimos and became a
partner in the trading post. They served the remaining mines in the region, supplied riverboats with firewood,
and traded with Eskimo and Indian fur trappers. A post office was established in 1913, and a second trading
post opened in the early 1920s. The first Beaver school opened in 1928, and an airstrip was built in the
1930s. Beaver's population remained stable from 1950 through the 1970s. In 1974, the village council
purchased the local store and set it up as a cooperative, with villagers holding shares of stock.

LOCATION Bethel is located at the mouth of the Kuskokwim River, 40 miles inland from the Bering Sea. It lies in the
Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, 400 air miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Bethel serves as the regional center for 56 villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Food, fuel, transportation,
medical care, and other services for the region are provided by Bethel. 50% of the jobs in Bethel are in
government positions. Commercial fishing is an important source of income; 200 residents hold commercial
fishing permits, primarily for salmon and herring roe net fisheries. Subsistence activities contribute
substantially to villager's diets, particularly salmon, freshwater fish, game birds and berries. Poor fish returns
since 1997 have significantly affected the community.
HISTORY Bethel was first established by Yup'ik Eskimos who called the village Mumtrekhlogamute meaning
Smokehouse People named for the nearby fish smokehouse. There were 41 people in Bethel during the 1880
U.S. Census. At that time, it was an Alaska Commercial Company Trading Post. The Moravian Church
established a mission in the area in 1884. The community was moved to its present location due to erosion at
the prior site. A post office was opened in 1905. Before long, Bethel was serving as a trading, transportation
and distribution center for the region, which attracted Natives from surrounding villages. The City was
incorporated in 1957. Over time, federal and state agencies established regional offices in Bethel.

POPULATION 28
LOCATION Bettles is located about 180 air miles and 250 road miles northwest of Fairbanks, adjacent to Evansville. It lies
just north of the Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge. Bettles is located on the S.E. bank of the Koyukuk River.
ECONOMY The economy is linked to air transportation, visitor services and government. 100% of the heads of household
are employed, most full-time, which is unique for a rural community. The community is accessible by road
during winter months, which dramatically reduces the cost of goods and supplies. The FAA, National Park
Service, school, Tribe, City, general store and lodging provide year-round employment. During the summer,
tourist-oriented businesses and guides for the Brooks Range provide seasonal employment. Subsistence
activities are important to the Native residents; subsistence use by the non-Natives is substantially lower.
Salmon, moose, bear, caribou and sheep are used.
HISTORY Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Selawik, and
Nunamiut Eskimos from the north and northwest. The Koyukon lived in several camps throughout the year,
moving as the seasons changed, following the wild game and fish. Old Bettles located 6 miles from the
present community, was named for Gordon Bettles, who opened a trading post during the 1899 gold rush. Old
Bettles was the northern terminal of the Koyukuk River barge line, and a post office operated there from 1901
to 1956. Today, the new site of Bettles is also known as Bettles Field. The Bettles Runway was constructed in
1945 by the U.S. Navy under Navy Contract Noy-12081 with Lytle and Green Construction as contractor. The
U.S. Navy used these facilities as a support base for exploring National Petroleum Reserve. Later, the FAA
took over the runway and its maintenace. Work opportunities at Bettles Field attracted both Natives and whites
to the new airfield. Wilford Evans, Sr. opened a sawmill at the present site of Evansville and built the Bettles
Lodge and General Store. A post office was established at the Bettles Lodge in 1950. A school was
constructed in 1956. A health clinic opened in 1980. Bettles incorporated as a City during 1985. The City
boundaries do not include the village of Evansville.

POPULATION 3166
LOCATION Big Lake is a community on the shore of Big Lake, 13 miles southwest of Wasilla, in the Chugach Mountains.
It lies adjacent to Houston and Knik-Fairview.
ECONOMY Most residents are employed in Anchorage, Palmer/Wasilla, or at businesses serving the community. There
are several lodges on the lake to support summer recreational boating and fishing activities. Unemployment is
relatively low. Six residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY Early inhabitants were the Athabascan Dena'ina Indians. Around 1899, the Boston and Klondike Company
made the first sled trail north into the Talkeetna Mountains from Knik via Big Lake. Homesteaders in 1929 and
after World War II settled Big Lake. Materials were transported from Pittman railroad station over eleven miles
of rough trail. By 1959, a number of lodges and several children's camps were operating on the lake, and at
least 300 cottages and camps were owned by individuals. Lake-front lots became accessible in the 1960s and
1970s, with the expansion of roads and power. In June 1996, the "Miller's Reach" wildfire destroyed more than
37,500 acres in the Big Lake and Houston area, including 433 buildings and homes valued at $8.9 million. Low
housing costs, the semi-rural lifestyle, and a 45-minute commute to Anchorage have supported growth in the
Mat-Su Valley.

Birch Creek
POPULATION 26
LOCATION The village is located along Birch Creek, approximately 26 miles southwest of Fort Yukon.
ECONOMY Birch Creek's economy is heavily dependent upon subsistence. Salmon, whitefish, moose, black bear,
waterfowl and berries provide most food sources. Wage income opportunities are extremely limited. BLM fire
fighting, construction, the school, and the village council provide employment. The community is conducting
planning activities to expand the economy to include tourism and merchandising. The Tribe operates the
washeteria and electrical service.
HISTORY The Dendu Gwich'in traditionally occupied much of the Yukon Flats south of the Yukon River, including
portions of the Crazy and White Mountains. Semi-permanent camps existed near the present village. The first
written reference to a settlement in the Birch Creek area was in 1862 by a Fort Yukon clergyman who visited a
camp established to provide fish for the Hudson's Bay Company in Ft. Yukon. Some anthropologists believe
that this band was annihilated by scarlet fever in the 1880s, but there are ethnographic accounts of the use of
this area from 1867 onwards. Birch Creek Jimmy was the founder of Birch Creek, and was Great Chief among
the Chiefs in his days. He built a cabin in 1898 at the site of the Hudson's Bay fish camp. Several years later,
he was joined by other extended family members. In about 1916, the group moved three miles upstream to the
site of the present village. It was used as a seasonal base for harvest activities until the early 1950s, when the
establishment of a school encouraged village residents to adopt a less nomadic way of life. The first airstrip
was constructed in 1973. The school was closed for the 1999-2000 school year due to insufficient students.

Brevig Mission
POPULATION 328
LOCATION Brevig Mission is located at the mouth of Shelman Creek on Port Clarence, 5 miles northwest of Teller and 65
miles northwest of Nome.
ECONOMY The people of Brevig Mission subsist upon fish, moose, reindeer, seal, walrus and beluga whales. The primary
employers are the city and school district. Year-round jobs are scarce, unemployment is high, and seasonal
jobs in mining and construction are becoming limited due to a depressed minerals market. Arts and crafts
provide some cash income.
HISTORY The Kauwerak Eskimos in this area lived in migratory communities in pursuit of hunting and fishing grounds,
and traded furs with Siberia, Little Diomede and King Island. They formed alliances with Wales, Little Diomede
and others for protection. The "Teller Reindeer Station" opened near this site in 1892; it was operated by the
U.S. government until 1900. The Norwegian Rev. Tollef L. Brevig, a pioneer Lutheran missionary, began
serving the reindeer station on August 1, 1894, as pastor and teacher to the Laplanders and Eskimos. Rev.
Brevig traveled between villages by dog team along the beach, and often performed services in Nome. A
Lutheran Mission was constructed at the present site in 1900, and the village became known as "Teller
Mission." The mission was given 100 reindeer on a five-year loan from the Government. By 1906, the
Government's role had diminished, and the mission became dominant. In 1963, the Brevig Mission post office
was established. The City was incorporated in 1969. Reindeer were the economic base of this community until
1974, but the industry has since declined.

LOCATION Buckland is located on the west bank of the Buckland River, about 75 miles southeast of Kotzebue.
ECONOMY Residents depend on a subsistence lifestyle for most food sources. A herd of more than 2,000 reindeer are
managed; workers are paid in meat. Employment is primarily with the school, City, health clinic and stores.
Some mining also occurs. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit. The community is interested in
developing a Native food products and crafts manufacturing facility to produce reindeer sausage, berry
products, labrador tea and ivory and wood carving.
HISTORY The residents have moved from one site to another along the river at least five times in recent memory, to
places known as Elephant Point, Old Buckland and New Site. The presence of many fossil finds at Elephant
Point indicate prehistoric occupation of the area. The Inupiaq Eskimos depend on reindeer, beluga whale and
seal for survival. The City government was incorporated in 1966.

LOCATION Cantwell is located on the George Parks Highway at the west end of the Denali Highway, 211 miles north of
Anchorage and 28 miles south of Denali (Mount McKinley) Park. Part of the community is located on the
Alaska Railroad. The areas known as Kantishna and Carlo Creek are located nearby.
ECONOMY Cantwell's economy is based on highway tourism and transportation. Part-time seasonal construction jobs
also provide income. Most Native residents also depend on subsistence hunting, fishing, trapping and
gathering. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit.
HISTORY The Cantwell River was the former name of the Nenana River. The earliest inhabitants of the area were
nomadic Indians who trapped, hunted and fished throughout Interior Alaska. Cantwell began as a flag stop on
the Alaska Railroad. Oley Nicklie was the first Indian to settle here. When fur prices dropped, he and his two
brothers sought work with the railroad.

LOCATION Central is located on the Steese Highway about 125 miles northeast of Fairbanks and 28 miles southwest of
Circle. Circle Hot Springs is located nearby.
ECONOMY Central has a cash economy based on providing seasonal support for mining operations in the area. The
Circle District Museum attracts seasonal visitors, although Circle Hot Springs closed in October 2002. A
number of individuals live in the area only seasonally. Subsistence and recreational activities provide food
sources for the year-round residents. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit.
HISTORY After discovery of gold in the Circle Mining District in the 1890s, a centrally-located roadhouse was needed
between Circle, a supply point on the Yukon, and the mining operations at Mammoth, Mastodon, Preacher and
Birch Creeks. Central House, originally built around 1894, was located at the supply trail's crossing of Crooked
Creek. It became the center of a small community of miners who settled there and provided food and shelter
to travelers and support services to nearby miners. In 1906, the Alaska Road Commission began construction
of a wagon road to replace the primitive pack trail from Circle to Birch Creek mining operations. By 1908,
construction had reached Central. The original roadhouse burned to the ground and was rebuilt in the mid-
1920s. A post office was established in 1925. In 1927, the road link to Fairbanks was completed. The road
was named the Steese Highway in honor of General James Steese, former president of the Road
Commission. Mining continued until the beginning of World War II. After the war, a few miners returned to
Central, but mining declined through the 1950s and 60s. Activity increased again in the mid-1970s with the
rise in gold prices. In 1978, the Circle Mining District was the most active in Alaska, with 65 gold mining
operations employing over 200 people.

POPULATION 72
LOCATION Chalkyitsik is located on the Black River about 50 miles east of Fort Yukon.
ECONOMY Wage opportunities are limited and primarily part-time with the school district, village council, clinic, or state
and federal agencies. Seasonal work is found fire firefighting for the BLM, making sleds and snowshoes,
trapping and handicrafts. Subsistence plays an important role in the village economy. Moose, caribou, sheep,
salmon and whitefish provide a relatively stable source of food.
HISTORY Chalkyitsik means fish hooking place and has traditionally been an important seasonal fishing site for the
Gwich'in. Archaeological excavations in the area reveal use and occupancy of the region as early as 10,000
B.C. Village elders remember a highly nomadic way of life, living at the headwaters of the Black River from
autumn to spring, and then floating downriver to fish in summer. Early explorers of the region refer briefly to
the Black River Gwich'in Natives. Archdeacon MacDonald encountered them on the Black and Porcupine
Rivers, as well as trading and socializing in Fort Yukon and Rampart, on a number of occasions from 1863 to
1868. Around the turn of the century, the Black River band began to settle in Salmon Village, about 70 miles
upriver from the present site. The first permanent structure was built there by William Salmon, a Canadian
Indian who married a Black River woman. In the late 1930s, a boat bound for Salmon Village with construction
materials for a school had to unload at Chalkyitsik because of low water. The site was used as a seasonal
fishing camp, and four cabins existed at that time. The decision was made to build the school there, and the
Black River people began to settle around the school. By 1969, there were 26 houses, a store, two churches
and a community hall in Chalkyitsik.

LOCATION Chefornak is located on the south bank of the Kinia River, at its junction with the Keguk River, in the Yukon-
Kuskokwim Delta. The village lies within the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Refuge, established for
migratory waterfowl protection. Chefornak is 98 air miles southwest of Bethel and 490 miles southwest of
Anchorage.
ECONOMY Other than government positions, most employment in Chefornak is seasonal, supplemented by subsistence
activities. Twenty-seven residents hold commercial fishing permits for herring roe and salmon fisheries.
Coastal Villages Seafood, Inc., processes halibut and salmon in Chefornak. Trapping is also a source of
income.
HISTORY The area has historically been occupied by Yup'ik Eskimos. In the early 1950s, Alexie Amagiqchik founded a
small general store at the site. He had moved from a village on the Bering Sea to the new location one mile
inland to escape potential floodwaters. Others from the original village followed and settled in Chefornak. The
City was incorporated in 1974.

LOCATION Chenega Bay is located on Evans Island at Crab Bay, 42 miles southeast of Whittier in Prince William Sound.
It is 104 air miles southeast of Anchorage and 50 miles east of Seward.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing, a small oyster farming operation, and subsistence activities occur in Chenega. Three
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Cash employment opportunities are very limited. In recent years,
Chenega's population has declined.
HISTORY The name of this Alutiiq village was first reported by Ivan Petroff in the 1880 census. At that time, the village
was located on the southern tip of Chenega Island. A post office was established in 1946. The village was
destroyed and over half of all residents perished by tsunamis in the Sound after the 1964 earthquake. The
village was reestablished twenty years later on Evans Island, at the site of the former Crab Bay herring saltery.
In the summer of 1984, 21 homes, an office building, community hall, school, 2 teacher's houses, a church and
community store were constructed.

POPULATION 942
LOCATION Chevak is located on the north bank of the Niglikfak River, 17 miles east of Hooper Bay in the Yukon-
Kuskokwim Delta.
ECONOMY Employment in Chevak is at its peak in the summer months and declines to a few full-time positions during
winter. Construction projects and BLM fire fighting provide summer employment. Eighteen residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Incomes are supplemented by subsistence activities and handicrafts. Salmon,
seal, walrus, clams and waterfowl are harvested.
HISTORY Eskimos have inhabited the region for thousands of years. Chevak is also known as New Chevak because
residents inhabited another village called Chevak before 1950. "Old" Chevak, on the north bank of the
Keoklevik River, 9 miles east of Hooper Bay, was abandoned because of flooding from high storm tides. The
name Chevak refers to "a connecting slough," on which "Old" Chevak was situated. The new site was first
reported by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1948. A post office was established in 1951. The City
government was incorporated in 1967.

LOCATION The unincorporated community of Chickaloon is located within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, northeast of
the community of Sutton. Its western boundary is in the vicinity of the Kings River (Mile 66.4 on the Glenn
Highway) and its eastern boundary is in the vicinity of Purinton Creek. The Talkeetna Mountains lie to the
northwest, and the Chugach Mountains and Matanuska River lie to the southeast. The Chickaloon River and
the Kings River are the two major tributaries to the Matanuska River. There are several lakes within the area:
Fish Lake, Drill Lake, Bonnie Lake, Harrison Lake, and Long Lake.
ECONOMY The King Mountain Lodge, Chickaloon General Store, Chickaloon Post Office, King Mountain Trading Post,
and the Castle Mountain Bed and Breakfast serve local residents and travelers. Castle Mountain Outfitters,
Nova Riverrunners, and several guides cater to a variety of recreational activities. Chickaloon Woodworks,
Charlie-D Construction, and Kindseth Construction are a few of the local contractors. Many residents are
employed within the community while some commute to Palmer, Wasilla, or Anchorage for work and others
work on the North Slope.
HISTORY Traditionally, Chickaloon territory was a center of trade for copper, sheep, and goats from the north, and
salmon, beluga, and fur seals from the south. The Ahtna, and formerly the Dena'ina, Athabascan Indians of
Chickaloon traveled extensively within the Copper River and Cook Inlet areas. The Chickaloon River was
named after Chief Chiklu, the last Denai'ina chief in this area. What is now the community of Chickaloon was
once a primary fishing camp of Chickaloon Village. Nay'dini'aa Na' is the Ahtna name for the original
settlement of Chickaloon Village on the north bank above the mouth of the Chickaloon River. An 1898 army
exploration party located a vein of high quality coal near the Chickaloon River. The deposits were hard to
reach and there was little interest in them until a railroad was built to Interior Alaska. During the winter of 1913-
1914, an Alaskan freighter named Jack Dalton used the frozen Matanuska River to haul the first test coal from
the Chickaloon coal deposits. When construction of the Alaska Railroad was approved in 1914, the plan
included a spur line to the Chickaloon coal field. From 1915 to 1922, the U.S. Navy sponsored a coal mining
boom in Chickaloon drainage, which had a negative impact on Chickaloon Village, especially with respect to
their once valued fishing camp. At the same time, it provided an opportunity for jobs and the development of
Chickaloon. Coal mining also took place in the area around Sutton, at the Wishbone Hill Naval Coal Reserve,
Coal Creek and Carbon Creek. Like so many other Alaska mining towns, Chickaloon grew quickly and almost
as quickly declined. By 1925, the Navy halted coal development in Chickaloon and the land reverted to public
domain and was opened to homesteaders by 1958. Today, local businesses provide employment for
community residents and serve the needs of residents and visitors alike. Many Chickaloon Village Tribal
members remain in Chickaloon and others live in Sutton and surrounding communities.

LOCATION Chicken is located at mile 66 of the Taylor Highway, approximately 100 road miles southwest of Eagle. It lies
on the right bank of Chicken Creek, one mile north of Mosquito Fork, in the Fortymile River Basin.
ECONOMY The community depends upon summer visitors for their livelihood, from May to September. The Chicken
Creek Saloon, the Original Chicken Gold Camp cafe, Chicken Outpost and Chicken Center serve local
residents and visitors. Tours are available through historic Chicken by The Goldpanner. The Original Chicken
Gold Camp also provides access to the historic Pedro Dredge. Other than tourism, the economy is still based
on gold panning and in the winter, fur trapping.
HISTORY The area has been the historical home to Han Kutchin Indians. Mining began in the area with the discovery of
gold on Franklin Gulch, in 1886. In 1896, Bob Mathieson found a major prospect on Upper Chicken Creek,
staked his claim and built a cabin. Chicken (a common name for Ptarmigan) grew as a hub of activity for the
southern portion of the Fortymile Mining District. 700 miners were thought to be working the area between 1896
and 1898. And although many miners left during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, Chicken remained a viable
community. A post office was established in 1903 -- the population was around 400. In 1906, Harvey Van Hook
built the two-story Chicken Creek Hotel. In 1925, Ann "Tisha" Purdy taught school in the building. From 1946-
1953, Molly and Bob McComb used the building as a roadhouse, store and bunkhouse. In 1953, F.E. Company
bought the grounds and turned it into a mess hall and bunkhouse for their employees. Approximately a dozen
buildings in the historical downtown Chicken are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The Pedro
Dredge, also a National Historic site, originally mined in the Fairbanks area before its move to Chicken in 1959.
The dredge is one of the few dredges in the State open to the public.

LOCATION The City of Chignik is located on Anchorage Bay on south shore of the Alaska Peninsula. It lies 450 miles
southwest of Anchorage and 260 miles southwest of Kodiak.
ECONOMY As is typical of villages in the region, commercial fishing and subsistence activities are the mainstays of the
economy. Sixteen residents hold commercial fishing permits. Two fish processing plants operate in Chignik:
Norquest Adak and Trident Seafoods. Salmon, herring roe, halibut, cod and crab are processed here; between
600 to 800 people come to Chignik to fish or work in the plants each summer. Residents depend on
subsistence foods, including salmon, trout, crab, clams, caribou and moose.
HISTORY A village called "Kalwak" was originally located here; it was destroyed during the Russian fur boom in the late
1700s. Chignik, meaning "big wind," was established in the late 1800s as a fishing village and cannery. A four-
masted sailing ship called the "Star of Alaska" transported workers and supplies between Chignik and San
Francisco. Chinese crews from San Francisco traveled to Chignik in early spring to make tin cans for the
cannery. Japanese workers followed in mid-June to begin processing. A post office was established in 1901.
Coal mining occurred from 1899 to 1915. Chignik became an incorporated City in 1983. Today, two of the
historical canneries are still in operation.

LOCATION Chignik Lagoon is located on the south shore of the Alaska Peninsula, 450 miles southwest of Anchorage. It
lies 180 air miles south of King Salmon, 8.5 miles west of Chignik and 16 miles east of Chignik Lake.
ECONOMY Fishing is the mainstay of the economy in Chignik Lagoon, and the area serves as a regional fishing center.
The economy is dependent on the success of the salmon fleet. 29 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
Two on-shore processors operate out of nearby Chignik. The primary year-round employers are the village
council, electric plant and school. Subsistence activities significantly contribute to food sources. Salmon,
other fish, crab, clams, caribou, moose, ducks and berries are utilized.
HISTORY Chignik Lagoon took its name from its location and proximity to Chignik, meaning "big wind." The people of this
area have always been sea-dependent, living on otter, sea lion, porpoise, and whale. During the Russian fur
boom from 1767 to 1783, the sea otter population was decimated. This, in addition to disease and warfare,
reduced the Native population to less than half its former size. It has developed as a fishing village.

LOCATION Chignik Lake is located on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula next to the body of water of the same name.
It lies 13 miles from Chignik, 265 miles southwest of Kodiak and 474 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Fishing is the mainstay of Chignik Lake's economy. Some residents leave the community during summer
months to commercial fish, crew or work at the fish processors at Chignik. Eight residents hold commercial
fishing permits. The people depend heavily on subsistence hunting and fishing, and utilize salmon, other fish,
caribou, moose and seal.
HISTORY The present population traces its roots from the Alutiiq near Illnik and the old village of Kanatag near Becharof
Lake. The community was the winter residence of a single family in 1903. Other families moved from
surrounding communities in the early 1950s when a school was built.

LOCATION Chistochina is located at mile 32.7 on the Tok Cutoff to the Glenn Highway, 42 miles northeast of Glennallen.
Sinona Creek, Bolder Creek, Chistochina River and Copper River surround the village.
ECONOMY Subsistence hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering are the basis of the village's economy. Most cash
employment is seasonal.
HISTORY Chistochina began as an Ahtna fish camp and a stopover place for traders and trappers. The village access
road later became part of the Valdez-Eagle Trail, constructed by miners during the gold rush to the Eagle area
in 1897. Chistochina Lodge was built as a roadhouse for prospectors. The Trail was used for construction of
U.S. Army Signal Corps telegraph lines from Valdez to Eagle between 1901 and 1904. Gold was mined along
the upper Chistochina River and its runoff creeks. The area was settled by homesteaders, although it has
remained a traditional Native village.

LOCATION Chitina is located on the west bank of the Copper River at its confluence with the Chitina River, at mile 34 of
the Edgerton Highway, 53 miles southeast of Copper Center. It lies outside the western boundary of the
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, 66 miles southeast of Glennallen.
ECONOMY Employment is primarily with the village council, village corporation, or the National Park Service. Many
residents are self-employed or work in retail establishments. The summer influx of fishermen, tourists and
campers provides some cash income in fish guiding and other services. Two residents hold commercial
fishing permits. Many villagers participate in subsistence activities year-round.
HISTORY Athabascan Indians have reportedly occupied this region for the last 5,000 to 7,000 years. Archaeological sites
are located to the south and east of Chitina. Chitina was historically a large Native village whose population
was slowly decimated by the influx of people, disease and conflicts. Rich copper deposits were discovered at
the turn of the century along the northern flanks of the Chitina River valley, bringing a rush of prospectors and
homesteaders to the area. The Copper River & Northwestern Railway enabled Chitina to develop into a thriving
community by 1914. It had a general store, clothing store, meat market, stables, a tinsmith, five hotels,
rooming houses, a pool hall, bars, restaurants, dance halls and a movie theater. Almost all of Chitina was
owned by Otto Adrian Nelson, a surveying engineer for the Kennecott Mines. He supplied electric power to all
structures with a unique hydroelectric system. After the mines closed in 1938, support activities moved to the
Glennallen area, and Chitina became a virtual ghost town with only the Natives and a few non-Natives staying
on. In 1963, the Nelson estate was purchased by "Mudhole" Smith, a pioneer bush pilot, who sold off the
townsite and buildings.

POPULATION 90
LOCATION Chuathbaluk is located on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River, 11 miles upriver from Aniak in the Kilbuk-
Kuskokwim mountains. It is 87 air miles northeast of Bethel and 310 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Chuathbaluk's economy is heavily dependent on subsistence activities. Employment is primarily through the
school, tribal government, City, clinic, or seasonal firefighting for the BLM. One resident holds a commercial
fishing permit. Local artisans produce fur garments, beadwork, mukluks, kuspuks and ulus. Salmon, moose,
black bear, porcupine and waterfowl are harvested.
HISTORY Chuathbaluk was the site of an Ingalik Indian summer fish camp in the mid-1800s. The village has been known
as Chukbak, St. Sergius Mission, Kuskokwim Russian Mission, and Little Russian Mission. The village was
often confused with Russian Mission on the Yukon, so in the 1960s the name was changed to Chuathbaluk,
which is derived from the Yup'ik word "Curapalek," meaning "the hills where the big blueberries grow." The
Russian Orthodox church built the St. Sergius Mission by 1894, and residents of Kukuktuk from 20 miles
downriver moved to the mission. Tragically, much of the village was lost in an influenza epidemic in 1900. By
1929, the site was deserted, although Russian Orthodox members continued to hold services at the mission. In
1954, the Sam Phillips family from Crow Village resettled the mission, and were joined later by individuals from
Aniak and Crooked Creek. The Church was rebuilt in the late 1950s, and a state school opened in the 1960s.
The City was incorporated in 1975.

LOCATION Circle is located on the south bank of the Yukon River at the edge of the Yukon Flats, 160 miles northeast of
Fairbanks. It is at the eastern end of the Steese Highway.
ECONOMY Recreation attracts visitors to Circle seasonally. Circle Hot Springs was closed in October 2002. Some
persons live in the community only during summer months. Major employers include the school, clinic, village
corporation, trading post, and post office. A 25-room hotel is under construction. Two residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Almost all residents are involved in subsistence. Salmon, freshwater fish, moose
and bear are the major sources of meat. Trapping and making of handicrafts contribute to family incomes.
HISTORY Circle (also known as Circle City) was established in 1893 as a supply point for goods shipped up the Yukon
River and then overland to the gold mining camps. Early miners believed the town was located on the Arctic
Circle, and named it Circle. By 1896, before the Klondike gold rush, Circle was the largest mining town on the
Yukon, with a population of 700. It boasted an Alaska Commercial Company store, eight or ten dance halls, an
opera house, a library, a school, a hospital, and an Episcopal Church. It had its own newspaper, the Yukon
Press, and a number of residential U.S. government officials, including a commissioner, marshal, customs
inspector, tax collector and postmaster. The town was virtually emptied after gold discoveries in the Klondike
(1897) and Nome (1899). A few hearty miners stayed on in the Birch Creek area, and Circle became a small,
stable community that supplied miners in the nearby Mastodon, Mammoth, Deadwood and Circle Creeks.
Mining activity continues to this day.

POPULATION 147
LOCATION Coffman Cove is on the northeast coast of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. It lies 73 miles
northeast of Ketchikan and 42 miles southeast of Wrangell.
ECONOMY Logging support services and the local school provide the majority of employment. Coffman Cove is one of the
major log transfer sites on Prince of Wales Island. Logs are tied together and towed to trans-shipment points
for export. Oyster farming also occurs in Coffman Cove. Five residents hold commercial fishing permits. The
City is conducting a study of the feasibility of a marine commercial/industrial complex. Recreation includes
hunting (bear and deer), fishing, hiking and boating.
HISTORY The site was named in 1886 by Lt. Comdr. A.S. Snow, USN, for Lt. Dewitt Coffman, a member of his party.
Coffman Cove was first settled as a logging camp in the 1950s, owned and operated by Mike and Leta
Valentine. Land was made available for private ownership through selection under the Alaska Statehood Act.
Coffman Cove's pioneer lifestyle and clean, safe environment were featured on ABC's 20/20" program in 1984
prompting a deluge of mail from persons around the country wanting to relocate. The city government was
incorporated in 1989."

LOCATION Cold Bay is located in the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge at the western end of the Alaska Peninsula. It lies
634 miles southwest of Anchorage, and 180 miles northeast of Unalaska.
ECONOMY State and federal government and airline support services provide the majority of local employment. Because
of its central location and modern airport, Cold Bay serves as the regional center for air transportation on the
Alaska Peninsula, and as an international hub for private aircraft. Cold Bay also provides services and fuel for
the fishing industry. Two residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY Archaeological sites dating to the last ice age indicate the area around Cold Bay was once inhabited by a large
Native population, and was used by European hunters and trappers throughout the 19th century. Izembeck
Lagoon was named in 1827 by Count Feodor Kutke, after Karl Izembeck, a surgeon aboard the sloop "Moller."
During World War II, Cold Bay was the site of the strategic air base Fort Randall. At that time, the airport was
the largest in the state, with a 10,000' runway. The City was incorporated in 1982.

Copper Center
POPULATION 337
LOCATION Copper Center is located along the Richardson Highway between Mileposts 101 and 105. It is on the west
bank of the Copper River at the confluence of the Klutina River. It lies just west of the Wrangell-St. Elias
National Park.
ECONOMY The economy is based on local services and businesses and highway-related tourism. The National Park
Service's Wrangell-St. Elias Visitor Center was completed in 2002. The Copper River Princess Wilderness
Lodge was also completed in 2002. Two RV Parks and three river boat charter services operate from Copper
Center. Many Native residents depend on subsistence hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering. Eight
residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The Ahtna people have occupied the Copper River basin for the past 5,000 to 7,000 years. They had summer
fish camps at every bend in the river and winter villages throughout the region. Copper Center was a large
Ahtna Athabascan village at one time. In 1896, Ringwald Blix built Blix Roadhouse, which was very highly
regarded for its outstanding services. The Trail of '98 from Valdez joined with the Eagle Trail to Forty Mile and
Dawson. 300 destitute miners spent the winter here, and many died of scurvy. Copper Center became the
principal supply center for miners in the Nelchina-Susitna region. A telegraph station and post office were
established in 1901. A school was constructed in 1905, which brought a number of Native families to Copper
Center. In 1909, it was designated a government agricultural experiment station. In 1932, the original
roadhouse was destroyed in order to build the Copper Center Lodge. This lodge is on the National Register of
Historic Roadhouses and is now considered the jewel of Alaskan roadhouses. In the late 30s and early 40s,
construction of the Richardson and Glenn Highways made the region more accessible. The first church in the
Copper River region, the Chapel on the Hill, was built here in 1942 by Vince Joy and U.S. Army volunteers
stationed in the area. Mr. Joy built other churches and a bible college in the area over the years.

Cordova
POPULATION 2194
LOCATION Cordova is located at the southeastern end of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. The community was
built on Orca Inlet, at the base of Eyak Mountain. It lies 52 air miles southeast of Valdez and 150 miles
southeast of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Cordova supports a large fishing fleet for Prince William Sound and several fish processing plants. 341
residents hold commercial fishing permits, and nearly half of all households have someone working in
commercial harvesting or processing. Copper River red salmon, pink salmon, herring, halibut, bottom fish and
other fisheries are harvested. Reduced salmon prices have affected the economy. The largest employers are
North Pacific Processors, Cordova School District, Cordova Hospital, the City, and the Department of
Transportation. The U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Coast Guard maintain personnel in Cordova.
HISTORY The area has historically been home to the Alutiiq, with the addition of migrating Athabascan and Tlingit natives
who called themselves Eyaks. Alaskan Natives of other descents also settled in Cordova. Orca Inlet was
originally named "Puerto Cordova" by Don Salvador Fidalgo in 1790. One of the first producing oil fields in
Alaska was discovered at Katalla, 47 miles southeast of Cordova, in 1902. The town of Cordova was named in
1906 by Michael Heney, builder of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad, and the City was formed in
1909. Cordova became the railroad terminus and ocean shipping port for copper ore from the Kennecott Mine
up the Copper River. The first trainload of ore was loaded onto the steamship "Northwestern," bound for a
smelter in Tacoma, Washington, in April 1911. The Bonanza-Kennecott Mines operated until 1938 and yielded
over $200 million in copper, silver and gold. The Katalla oil field produced until 1933, when it was destroyed by
fire. Fishing became the economic base in the early 1940s.

LOCATION Craig is located on a small island off the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, and is connected by a short
causeway. It is 31 road miles west of Hollis. It lies 56 air miles northwest of Ketchikan, 750 air miles north of
Seattle, and 220 miles south of Juneau.
ECONOMY The economy in Craig is based on the fishing industry, logging support and sawmill operations. A fish buying
station and a cold storage plant are located in Craig. The number of residents hold commercial fishing permits
is 200. Craig has grown as a service and transportation center for the Prince of Wales Island communities.
Shan-Seet Village Corporation timber operations, the Viking Lumber Co. sawmill, fishing, fish processing,
government and commercial services provide most employment. Deer, salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab are
harvested for recreational or subsistence purposes.
HISTORY The Tlingit and Haida peoples have historically utilized the area around Craig for its rich resources. With the
help of local Haidas, a fish saltery was built on nearby Fish Egg Island in 1907 by Craig Miller. Between 1908
and 1911, he constructed the Lyndenburger Packing Company and cold storage plant at the present site of
Craig. In 1912, a post office, a school, a sawmill, and a salmon cannery were constructed. The cannery and
sawmill peaked during World War I. A city government was formed in 1922. Excellent pink salmon runs
contributed to development and growth through the late 1930s -- some families from the Dust Bowl relocated to
Craig during this time. During the 1950s, the fishing industry collapsed due to depleted salmon runs. In 1972,
Ed Head built a large sawmill six miles from Craig near Klawock, which provided year-round jobs and helped to
stabilize the economy. Head Mill was sold in the early 1990s to Viking Lumber.

LOCATION Crooked Creek is located on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River at its junction with Crooked Creek. It lies
in the Kilbuk-Kuskokwim Mountains 50 miles northeast of Aniak, 141 miles northeast of Bethel, and 275 miles
west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The economy is focused on subsistence activities. Salmon, moose, caribou and water fowl are staples of the
diet. There are a few year-round positions at the school and store. Some residents trap and sell pelts. The
Calista Corp., Kuskokwim Corp., and Placer Dome U.S. have signed an exploration and mining lease for
Donlin Creek, north of Crooked Creek. Placer Dome has a 70% interest and will invest $30 million to conduct
a feasibility study and develop a working gold mine by 2007, producing an estimated 600,000 ounces a year.
HISTORY It was first reported in 1844 by the Russian explorer Zagoskin, who recorded the name of the creek as
"Kvikchagpak," or "great bend" in Yup'ik, and as "Khottylno," or "sharp turn" in Ingalik Indian. He noted that the
site was used as a summer fish camp for the nearby villagers of Kwigiumpainukamuit. In 1909, a permanent
settlement was established as a way station for the Flat and Iditarod gold mining camps. The USGS reported it
in 1910 as "Portage Village" because it was at the south end of a portage route up Crooked Creek to the placer
mines. In 1914, Denis Parent founded a trading post upriver from the creek mouth, in what would become the
"upper village" of Crooked Creek. A post office was opened in 1927 and a school was built in 1928. The "lower
village" was settled by Eskimos and Ingalik Indians. By the early 1940s, there was a Russian Orthodox Church,
St. Nicholas Chapel, and several homes. The upper and lower portions of the village remain today. Gold
production continued through the late 1980s, when Western Gold Mining and Exploration went out of business.

LOCATION Deering is located on Kotzebue Sound at the mouth of the Inmachuk River, 57 miles southwest of Kotzebue. It
is built on a flat sand and gravel spit 300 feet wide and a half-mile long.
ECONOMY Deering's economy is a mix of cash and subsistence activities. Moose, seal and beluga whale provide most
meat sources; pink salmon, tom cod, herring, ptarmigan, rabbit and waterfowl are also utilized. The Karmun-
Moto reindeer herd of 1,400 animals provides some local employment. A number of residents earn income
from handicrafts and trapping. The village is interested in developing a craft production facility and cultural
center to train youth in Native crafts. The school, City, Maniilaq Assoc., stores, and an airline provide the only
year-round jobs. Some mining occurs in the Seward Peninsula's interior. Three residents hold commercial
fishing permits. The village wants to develop eco-tourism, including a 38-mile road to Inmachuk Springs for
tourists.
HISTORY The village was established in 1901 as a supply station for Interior gold mining near the historic Malemiut
Eskimo village of Inmachukmiut." The name Deering was probably taken from the 90-ton schooner "Abbey
Deering which was in nearby waters around 1900. The City was incorporated in 1970.

LOCATION Dillingham is located at the extreme northern end of Nushagak Bay in northern Bristol Bay, at the confluence of
the Wood and Nushagak Rivers. It lies 327 miles southwest of Anchorage, and is a 6 hour flight from Seattle.
ECONOMY Dillingham is the economic, transportation, and public service center for western Bristol Bay. Commercial
fishing, fish processing, cold storage and support of the fishing industry are the primary activities. Icicle, Peter
Pan, Trident and Unisea operate fish processing plants in Dillingham. 277 residents hold commercial fishing
permits. During spring and summer, the population doubles. The city's role as the regional center for
government and services helps to stabilize seasonal employment. Many residents depend on subsistence
activities and trapping of beaver, otter, mink, lynx and fox provide cash income. Salmon, grayling, pike,
moose, bear, caribou, and berries are harvested.
HISTORY The area around Dillingham was inhabited by both Eskimos and Athabascans and became a trade center
when Russians erected the Alexandrovski Redoubt (Post) in 1818. Local Native groups and Natives from the
Kuskokwim Region, the Alaska Peninsula and Cook Inlet mixed together as they came to visit or live at the
post. The community was known as Nushagak by 1837, when a Russian Orthodox mission was established.
In 1881 the U.S. Signal Corps established a meteorological station at Nushagak. In 1884 the first salmon
cannery in the Bristol Bay region was constructed by Arctic Packing Co., east of the site of modern-day
Dillingham. Ten more were established within the next seventeen years. The post office at Snag Point and
town were named after U.S. Senator Paul Dillingham in 1904, who had toured Alaska extensively with his
Senate subcommittee during 1903. The 1918-19 influenza epidemic struck the region, and left no more than
500 survivors. A hospital and orphanage were established in Kanakanak after the epidemic, 6 miles from the
present-day City Center. The Dillingham townsite was first surveyed in 1947. The City was incorporated in
1963.

Diomede
POPULATION 144
LOCATION Diomede is located on the west coast of Little Diomede Island in the Bering Straits, 135 miles northwest of
Nome. It is only 2.5 miles from Big Diomede Island, Russia, and the international boundary lies between the
two islands.
ECONOMY Little Diomede villagers depend almost entirely upon a subsistence economy for their livelihood. Employment
is limited to the City and school. Seasonal mining, construction and commercial fishing positions have been on
the decline. The Diomede people are excellent ivory carvers; the City serves as a wholesale agent for the
ivory. Villagers travel to Wales by boat for supplies. Mail is delivered once per week.
HISTORY Early Eskimos on the islands were fearless men of the ice and sea, with an advanced culture practicing
elaborate whale hunting ceremonies. They traded with both continents. The islands were named in 1728 by
Vitus Bering in honor of Saint Diomede. The 1880 Census counted 40 people, all Ingalikmiut Eskimos, in the
village of "Inalet." When the Iron Curtain was formed, Big Diomede became a Soviet military base and all
Native residents were moved to mainland Russia. During World War II, Little Diomede residents who strayed
into soviet waters were taken captive. The City was incorporated in 1970. Some residents are interested in
relocating the village, due to the rocky slopes and harsh storms, lack of useable land for housing construction,
and inability to construct a water/sewer system, landfill or airport.

LOCATION Dot Lake is located on the Alaska Highway, 50 miles northwest of Tok, and 155 road miles southeast of
Fairbanks. It lies south of the Tanana River. Dot Lake Village is located nearby.
ECONOMY Employment in the area is limited to the family-owned Dot Lake Lodge. One resident holds a commercial
fishing permit.
HISTORY Archaeological evidence at nearby Healy Lake revealed more than 10,000 years of human habitation. Dot
Lake was used as a seasonal hunting camp for Athabascans from George Lake and Tanacross. An Indian
freight trail ran north to the Yukon River, through Northway, Tetlin, Tanacross and Dot Lake. During
construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942-43, a work camp called Sears City occupied Dot Lake's present
location. Fred and Jackie Vogle were the first settlers in the area. They received a home site, and by 1949
had constructed a lodge, post office, school, and the Dot Lake Community Chapel. Over the years, additional
families homesteaded the area. Over 300 acres have been provided. A licensed children's home was built by
the Vogels in 1967, and the present-day Dot Lake Lodge was constructed in 1973. The North Star Children's
Home closed in the mid-1990s.

LOCATION The City of Eagle and Eagle Village are located on the Taylor Highway, 6 miles west of the Alaska-Canadian
border. Eagle is on the left bank of the Yukon River at the mouth of Mission Creek. The Yukon-Charley Rivers
National Preserve is northwest of the area.
ECONOMY Retail businesses, the school, mining and seasonal employment such as tourism and BLM fire-fighting provide
the majority of employment. Year-round earning opportunities are limited. Subsistence activities provide some
food sources.
HISTORY The area has been the historical home to Han Kutchin Indians. Established as a log house trading station
called "Belle Isle" around 1874, it operated intermittently as a supply and trading center for miners working the
upper Yukon and its tributaries. Eagle City was founded in 1897, and was named after the nesting eagles on
nearby Eagle Bluff. By 1898, the population had grown to over 1,700. Eagle was the first incorporated city in
the Interior, in January 1901. A U.S. Army camp was established in 1899, and Fort Egbert was completed in
1900. The Valdez-Eagle Telegraph line was completed in 1903. By 1910, Fairbanks and Nome gold prospects
had lured away many, and the population had declined to 178. Fort Egbert was abandoned in 1911.

LOCATION Eek lies on the south bank of the Eek River, 12 miles east of the mouth of the Kuskokwim River. It is 35 air
miles south of Bethel in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, and 420 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Eek's economy is primarily subsistence- and commercial fishing-based. A few full-time positions are available
at the school, City, and village office. All families participate in subsistence fishing; 44 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Poor fish returns and prices in recent years have significantly affected the
economy.
HISTORY The village was originally located on the Apokok River, and moved to its present location in the 1930s.
Constant flooding and erosion forced a relocation. A BIA school and a Moravian Church were constructed at
the new site. A post office was established in 1949. The City was incorporated in 1970.

Egegik
POPULATION 64
LOCATION Egegik is located on the south bank of the Egegik River on the Alaska Peninsula, 100 miles southwest of
Dillingham and 326 air miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The economy is based on subsistence harvest, commercial fishing and fish processing. During the
commercial fishing season, the population swells by 1,000 to 2,000 fishermen and cannery workers. 45
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Five on-shore processors are located on the Egegik River, three on
the north shore and two on the south shore, including Woodbine Alaska Fish Co., Big Creek Fish Co., Clark
Fish Co. and Alaska General Seafoods. Numerous floating processors participate in the Egegik fishery.
Subsistence hunting and fishing activities are an important part of the lifestyle and local diet. Seal, beluga,
salmon, trout, smelt, grayling, clams, moose, bear, caribou, porcupine, waterfowl and ptarmigan are utilized.
Locals also gather berries and wild greens each season.
HISTORY According to anthropologists, settlement of the Bristol Bay region first occurred over 6,000 years ago. Yup'ik
Eskimos and Athabascan Indians jointly occupied the area. Aleuts arrived in later years. The first recorded
contact by non-Natives was with Russian fur traders between 1818 and 1867. The village was reported by
Russians as a fish camp called "Igagik" (meaning "throat") in 1876. Local people would travel each year from
Kanatak on the Gulf coast through a portage pass to Becharof Lake, and hiked or kayaked on to the Egegik
Bay area for summer fish camp. In 1895, an Alaska Packers Association salmon saltery was established at the
mouth of Egegik River, and a town developed around the former fish camp. During the influenza outbreaks
beginning in 1918, Natives from other villages moved to Egegik in an attempt to isolate themselves from the
disease. During World War II, men from Egegik were enlisted to help build the King Salmon airport, with many
subsequently serving in Dutch Harbor and elsewhere. Egegik later grew into a major salmon production port.
Egegik incorporated as a second-class city in 1995.

POPULATION 108
LOCATION Ekwok is located along the Nushagak River, 43 miles northeast of Dillingham, and 285 miles southwest of
Anchorage.
ECONOMY A few residents trap. The entire population depends on subsistence activities for various food sources.
Salmon, pike, moose, caribou, duck and berries are harvested. Summer gardens are also popular, because
families do not leave the village to fish for subsistence purposes. Most residents are not interested in
participating in a cash economy. Only six residents hold commercial fishing permits in Ekwok. The village
corporation owns a fishing lodge two miles downriver. Gravel is mined near the community.
HISTORY Ekwok means end of the bluff and is the oldest continuously occupied Yup'ik Eskimo village on the river.
During the 1800s, the settlement was used in the spring and summer as a fish camp, and in the fall as a base
for berry-picking. By 1923, it was the largest settlement along the river. In 1930, a BIA school was
constructed. Mail was delivered by dog sled from Dillingham until a post office opened in 1941. Many of the
earliest homes in Ekwok were located in a low, flat area near the riverbank. After a severe flood in the early
1960s, villagers relocated on higher ground, to the current location. The City was incorporated in 1974.

Elfin Cove
POPULATION 21
LOCATION Elfin Cove lies on the northern shore of Chichagof Island, approximately 70 miles by air and 85 miles by boat
west of Juneau; and 33 miles west of Hoonah. The community is only accessible by small seaplane or boat.
ECONOMY Elfin Cove is a fish-buying and supply center for fishermen. Most residents participate in commercial fishing,
sport fishing and charter services, so the economy is highly seasonal. In 2006, 30 individuals listing Elfin Cove
addresses held commercial fishing permits. Summer lodges and local retail businesses also provide seasonal
employment.
HISTORY This protected, flask-shaped harbor was originally called "Gunkhole" by fishermen anchoring here. Its safe
anchorage and proximity to the Fairweather fishing grounds made this a natural spot for fish buyers and
supplies. Ernie Swanson built a store, restaurant and dock here in the 1920s. His wife, Ruth, applied for a post
office in 1935, and gave it the new name of Elfin Cove. John Lowell, another fish buyer, arrived in the 1940s
and built a second dock, a warehouse, store and restaurant. According to locals, the Tlingits who visited the
harbor would not overwinter because of the "evil spirits" there.

LOCATION Elim is located on the northwest shore of Norton Bay on the Seward Peninsula, 96 miles east of Nome. It lies
460 miles northwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The Elim economy is based on subsistence harvests; cash employment is limited to fishing, the city and
school. Unemployment is high. 39 residents hold commercial fishing permits. The village wants to develop a
fish processing plant. Residents rely on fish, seal, walrus, beluga whale, reindeer, moose and home gardens.
HISTORY This settlement was formerly the Malemiut Inupiat Eskimo village of Nuviakchak. The Native culture was well-
developed and well adapted to the environment. Each tribe possessed a well-defined subsistence harvest
territory. The area became a federal reindeer reserve in 1911. In 1914, Rev. L.E. Ost founded a Covenant
mission and school, called Elim Mission Roadhouse. The City was incorporated in 1970. When the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in 1971, Elim decided not to participate, and instead opted
for title to the 298,000 acres of land in the former Elim Reserve. The Iditarod Sled Dog Race passes through
Elim each year.

LOCATION Emmonak is located at the mouth of the Yukon River, 10 miles from the Bering Sea, on the north bank of
Kwiguk Pass. It lies 120 air miles northwest of Bethel and 490 air miles from Anchorage, in the Yukon Delta
National Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY The City experiences a seasonal economy as a center for commercial fishing, purchasing and processing on
the lower Yukon River. Yukon Delta Fish Marketing Co-op and Bering Sea Fisheries process and export
salmon from Emmonak. 101 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence activities, trapping and
public assistance support income. The majority of the community travels to fish camps during the summer
months to dry salmon for winter use. Moose, beluga whale, seal and waterfowl are also utilized.
HISTORY The village was originally called "Kwiguk," a Yup'ik word meaning "big stream." Villagers call themselves
"Kuigpagmuit," or "people from the Yukon River." It has also been called "Emanguk" by the Census Bureau.
The original settlement was 1.4 miles south of its present location, and was first reported by the U.S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey in 1899. A post office was established there in 1920. Later, commercial fishing became a
major industry in the village and the northern Commercial Company built a cannery. In 1964, the cannery was
washed away by floods. That same year, the City government was incorporated. Due to increasing flooding
and erosion, the village was relocated 1.4 miles north of Kwiguk in 1964-65. The new location was renamed
Emmonak, which means "blackfish."

LOCATION Evansville is located about 180 air miles and 250 road miles northwest of Fairbanks, adjacent to Bettles.
ECONOMY The economy is linked to air transportation, visitor services and government. 90% of the heads of household
are employed, most full-time, which is unique for a rural community. The community is accessible by road
during winter months, which dramatically reduces the cost of goods and supplies. The FAA, National Park
Service, school, and City provide year-round employment. During the summer, a BLM fire-fighting station and
guides for the Brooks Range provide seasonal employment. Subsistence activities are important to the Native
residents, however, subsistence use by the non-Natives is substantially lower. Salmon, moose, bear, caribou
and sheep are utilized. Urban hunters, who drive up the Dalton Highway, also compete for local game. The
Tribe provides a tribal office and operates a clinic.
HISTORY Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Selawik, and
Nunamiut Eskimos from the north and northwest. The Koyukon lived in several camps throughout the year,
moving as the seasons changed, following the wild game and fish. Evansville was named for Wilford Evans,
Sr., who owned a trading post and river barge business in Allakaket. Evans opened a sawmill at the present
site of Evansville and built the Bettles Lodge and General Store. In 1948, the FAA constructed an airfield and
communications installation at Bettles Field, adjacent to Evansville. The U.S. Navy used these facilities as a
support base for exploring National Petroleum Reserve 4. Work opportunities at Bettles Field attracted both
Natives and whites to the new airfield. A post office was established at the Bettles Lodge in 1950. A school
was constructed in 1956. A health clinic opened in 1980. The school was closed for the 2002/2003 year due
to low enrollment.

LOCATION Fairbanks is located in the heart of Alaska's Interior, on the banks of the Chena River in the Tanana Valley. By
air, Fairbanks is 45 minutes from Anchorage and 3 hours from Seattle. It lies 358 road miles north of
Anchorage.
ECONOMY As the regional service and supply center for Interior Alaska, Fairbanks offers a diverse economy, including
city, borough, state and federal government services, transportation, communication, manufacturing, financial,
and regional medical services. Tourism and mining also comprise a significant part of the economy. Including
Eielson Air Force Base and Fort Wainwright personnel, over one-third of the employment is in government
services. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is also a major employer. Approximately 325,000 tourists visit
Fairbanks each summer. The Fort Knox hardrock gold mine produces 1,200 ounces daily with 360 permanent
year-round employees. 126 City residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY Koyukon Athabascans have lived in this area for thousands of years. In 1901, Capt. E.T. Barnette established
a trading post on the Chena River - "Barnette's Cache." A year later, gold was discovered 16 miles north of the
post. The town grew as the Chena steamboat landing brought many prospectors during the Pedro Dome gold
rush. Fairbanks was named in 1902 after Indiana Senator Charles Fairbanks, who became Vice President of
the U.S. from 1905-1909. In 1903, Judge Wikersham moved the seat of the Third Judicial District from Eagle to
Fairbanks. The population of the area continued to increase as Fairbanks became the hub of the Interior, with
the addition of the court, government offices, a jail, a post office, and the Northern Commercial Company.
Barnette was elected as the first Mayor of the City of Fairbanks in 1903, and established telephone service, fire
protection, sanitation ordinances, electricity and steam heat. He also founded the Washington-Alaska Bank. By
1910, the official population had grown to 3,541, although more than 6,000 miners lived and worked their
claims on creeks north of town. Ladd Field (now Fort Wainwright) was constructed in 1938. Construction of the
Alcan Highway in the 1940s and the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline in the 1970s fueled growth and development.

POPULATION 46
LOCATION False Pass is located on the eastern shore of Unimak Island on a strait connecting the Pacific Gulf of Alaska to
the Bering Sea. It is 646 air miles southwest of Anchorage. The city owns approximately 66 square miles of
land and water.
ECONOMY The local economy is driven by commercial salmon fishing and fishing services. False Pass is an important
refueling stop for Bristol Bay and Bering Sea fishing fleets. Bering Pacific and Peter Pan Seafoods process the
commercial catch. Eleven residents hold commercial fishing permits. Cash income is supplemented by
subsistence hunting and fishing. Salmon, halibut, geese, caribou, seals and wild cattle on Sanak Island are
utilized.
HISTORY The name False Pass is derived from the fact that the Bering Sea side of the strait is extremely shallow and
cannot accommodate large vessels. The area was originally settled by a homesteader in the early 1900s, and
grew with the establishment of a cannery in 1917. Natives immigrated from Morzhovoi, Sanak Island and
Ikatan when the cannery was built. A post office was established in 1921. The cannery has operated
continuously, except for 1973 - 1976, when two hard winters depleted the fish resources. The cannery was
subsequently purchased by Peter Pan Seafoods. It was destroyed by fire in March 1981, and was not rebuilt.
The City was incorporated in 1990.

LOCATION Fort Yukon is located at the confluence of the Yukon River and the Porcupine River, about 145 air miles
northeast of Fairbanks.
ECONOMY City, state, federal agencies and the Native corporation are the primary employers in Fort Yukon. The School
District is the largest employer. Winter tourism is becoming increasingly popular -- Fort Yukon experiences
spectacular Northern Lights. The BLM operates an emergency fire fighting base at the airport. The U.S. Air
Force operates a White Alice Radar Station in Fort Yukon. Trapping and Native handicrafts also provide
income. Residents rely on subsistence foods -- salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, caribou, and waterfowl
provide most meat sources. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit.
HISTORY Fort Yukon was founded in 1847 by Alexander Murray as a Canadian outpost in Russian Territory. It became
an important trade center for the Gwich'in Indians, who inhabited the vast lowlands of the Yukon Flats and
River valleys. The Hudson Bay Company, a British trading company, operated at Fort Yukon from 1846 until
1869. In 1862, a mission school was established. In 1867, Alaska was purchased by the U.S., and two years
later it was determined that Fort Yukon was on American soil. Moses Mercier, a trader with the Alaska
Commercial Company, took over operation of the Fort Yukon Trading Post. A post office was established in
1898. The fur trade of the 1800s, the whaling boom on the Arctic coast (1889-1904), and the Klondike gold
rush spurred economic activity and provided some economic opportunities for the Natives. However, major
epidemics of introduced diseases struck the Fort Yukon population from the 1860s until the 1920s. In 1949, a
flood damaged or destroyed many homes in Fort Yukon. During the 1950s, a White Alice radar site and an Air
Force station were established. Fort Yukon incorporated as a city in 1959.

LOCATION Galena is located on the north bank of the Yukon River, 45 miles east of Nulato and 270 air miles west of
Fairbanks. It lies northeast of the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY Galena serves as the transportation, government and commercial center for the western Interior. Federal,
state, city, school and village government jobs dominate, but Galena has many other jobs in air transportation
and retail businesses. 31 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Other seasonal employment, such as
construction work and BLM fire fighting, provide some income. The Illinois Creek gold mine, 50 miles
southwest of Galena, has closed due to low market prices.
HISTORY The area's Koyukon Athabascans had spring, summer, fall, and winter camps, and moved as the wild game
migrated. In the summer many families would float on rafts to the Yukon to fish for salmon. There were 12
summer fish camps located on the Yukon River between the Koyukuk River and the Nowitna River. Galena
was established in 1918 near an old Athabascan fish camp called Henry's Point. It became a supply and trans-
shipment point for nearby lead ore mines. In 1920, Athabascans living 14 miles upriver at Louden began
moving to Galena to sell wood to steamboats and to work hauling freight for the mines. A school was
established in the mid-1920s, and a post office opened in 1932. The Galena Air Field was constructed in
World War II. In 1945, the community suffered a major flood. During the 1950s, military facilities at the
Galena and Campion Air Force Stations, airport and road developments, sparked growth in the community.
Due to another severe flood in 1971, a new community site was developed at Alexander Lake, about 1 1/2
miles east of the original townsite. City offices, the health clinic, schools, washeteria, store, and more than 150
homes were constructed at New Town and a City government was formed. The Air Force Station was closed
in 1993, and the facilities are currently being used by the Galena School District as a Boarding School. The
Base facilities are maintained under contract by the Chugach Development Corp.

Gambell
POPULATION 662
LOCATION Gambell is located on the northwest cape of St. Lawrence Island, 200 miles southwest of Nome, in the Bering
Sea. The City is 36 miles from the Chukotsk Peninsula, Siberia.
ECONOMY The economy in Gambell is largely based upon subsistence harvests from the sea -- seal, walrus, fish and
bowhead and gray whales. Fox are trapped as a secondary source of cash income. Some reindeer roam free
on the island, but most harvesting occurs out of Savoonga. Ivory carving is a popular source of income. The
abundant number of seabird colonies provide an opportunity for limited tourism by bird-watchers.
HISTORY St. Lawrence Island has been inhabited intermittently for the past 2,000 years by Yup'ik Eskimos. In the 18th
and 19th centuries, over 4,000 people inhabited the island in 35 villages. Sivuqaq is the Yup'ik name for the
village and for the Island. The City was renamed for Mr. and Mrs. Vene C. Gambell. A tragic famine between
1878 and 1880 decimated the population. In 1900, reindeer were introduced to the island for local use, and in
1903, President Roosevelt established a reindeer reservation. During the 1930s, some residents moved to
Savoonga to establish a permanent settlement there. The City was incorporated in 1963. When the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in 1971, Gambell and Savoonga decided not to
participate, and instead opted for title to the 1.136 million acres of land in the former St. Lawrence Island
Reserve. The island is jointly owned by Savoonga and Gambell.

LOCATION Georgetown is located on the north bank of the upper Kuskokwim River in the Kilbuck-Kuskokwim mountains.
It is east of the mouth of the George River, 16 miles northwest of Red Devil.
ECONOMY There are three year-round residents.
HISTORY The middle Kuskokwim area first experienced contact with Europeans when the Russian explorer Zagoskin
sailed upriver to McGrath in 1844. At that time, Georgetown was known as Keledzhichagat, a summer fish
camp for residents of Kwigiumpainukamiut. Gold was found along the George River in 1909. This mining
settlement and the river were named for three traders: George Hoffman, George Fredericks and George
Morgan. By 1910, about 300 prospectors were living on the west side of the George River. About 200 cabins
had been built, when a fire swept through the settlement in 1911, destroying all but 25 cabins. Also saved
were the two general stores in town -- the Kuskokwim Commercial Company and the Northern Commercial
Company. By 1953, the only large structure that remained at the site was the two-story log house belonging to
George Fredericks. In the 1950s, the present settlement, on the east side of the George River, began to
develop. A State school was established in 1965, and remained until 1970.

LOCATION The community of Glennallen lies along the Glenn Highway at its junction with the Richardson Highway, 189
road miles east of Anchorage. It is located just outside the western boundary of Wrangell-St. Elias National
Park.
ECONOMY Glennallen is the supply hub of the Copper River region. Local businesses serve area residents and Glenn
Highway traffic, supplies and services, schools and medical care. State highway maintenance and federal
offices are in Glennallen. RV parks, lodging, fuel and other services cater to independent travelers. The
National Park Service's Wrangell-St. Elias Visitor Center and the Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge
were completed in 2002 at Copper Center. Offices for the Bureau of Land Management, Alaska State
Troopers, and the Dept. of Fish and Game are located here. There are several small farms in the area. Four
residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The name was derived from Maj. Edwin Glenn and Lt. Henry Allen, both leaders in the early explorations of the
Copper River region. It is one of the few communities in the region that was not built on the site of a Native
village.

POPULATION 167
LOCATION Golovin is located on a point of land between Golovnin Bay and Golovnin Lagoon on the Seward Peninsula. It
is 70 miles east of Nome.
ECONOMY Golovin's economy is based on subsistence activities, reindeer herding, fish processing and commercial
fishing. 14 residents hold commercial fishing permits. The salmon fishery and reindeer herding offer some
potential for cash income to augment subsistence food harvests. Fish, beluga whale, seal, moose and
reindeer are the main sources of meat.
HISTORY The Eskimo village of Chinik located at the present site of Golovin, was originally settled by the Kauweramiut
Eskimos who later mixed with the Unaligmiut Eskimos. Golovin was named for Captain Vasili Golovnin of the
Russian Navy. In 1887, the Mission Covenant of Sweden established a church and school south of the current
site. Around 1890, John Dexter established a trading post that became the center for prospecting information
for the entire Seward Peninsula. When gold was discovered in 1898 at Council, Golovin became a supply
point for the gold fields. Supplies were shipped from Golovin across Golovnin Lagoon and up the Fish and
Niukluk Rivers to Council. A post office was opened in 1899. Reindeer herding was a integral part of the
missions in the area in the 1900s. The City was incorporated in 1971.

LOCATION The community is located on the north shore of Goodnews Bay at the mouth of Goodnews River. It is 116 air
miles south of Bethel, 110 miles northwest of Dillingham and 400 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The city, school, local businesses and commercial fishing provide the majority of the income, supplemented by
subsistence activities. 41 residents hold commercial fishing permits for salmon and herring roe fisheries.
Many residents engage in trapping. Subsistence upon salmon, seal, walrus, birds, berries, moose and bear is
an integral part of the lifestyle.
HISTORY Yup'ik Eskimos called this village Mumtraq which was moved to its present location due to constant flooding
and storms at the old site. Shortly thereafter, in the 1930s, a government school and post office were built.
The City was incorporated in 1970. A high school was built in 1979.

LOCATION Grayling is located in Interior Alaska on the west bank of the Yukon River east of the Nulato Hills. It is 18 air
miles north of Anvik.
ECONOMY Grayling's economy is heavily dependent on subsistence activities, and employment is found primarily in
seasonal work. Nine residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence activities include fishing, hunting,
trapping, gathering and gardening. Salmon, moose, black bear, small game and waterfowl are utilized.
HISTORY In 1900, the U.S. Revenue steamer Nunivak reported 75 inhabitants, a store and a large woodyard to supply
steamers. Between 1962 and 1966, 25 families moved from Holikachuk on the Innoko River to Grayling.
Holikachuk was prone to annual spring flooding, and low water levels made the return trip from Yukon fish
camps each year difficult. The City government was incorporated in 1969.

Gustavus
POPULATION 442
LOCATION Gustavus lies on the north shore of Icy Passage at the mouth of the Salmon River, 48 air miles northwest of
Juneau in the St. Elias Mountains. It is surrounded by Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve on three sides
and the waters of Icy Passage on the south. Glacier Bay Park is 3.3 million acres, and offers 16 tidewater
glaciers.
ECONOMY Gustavus has a seasonal economy; the Glacier Bay National Park attracts a large number of tourists and
recreation enthusiasts during the summer months. Gustavus has tree kayaking companies and a 9 hole golf
course. There are several sport fishing guides and some commercial fishing occurs. Over 50% of the working
people are employed by the Park Service. The lodge, airport, school, and small businesses also offer
employment. The number of residents during the summer approximately doubles from the current population
estimates of year-round residents. Approximately 60,000 tourists visit or transit this small community annually.
Gardening is a prevalent activity during the summer.
HISTORY When Capt. George Vancouver sailed through Icy Strait in 1794, Glacier Bay was completely covered by the
Grand Pacific Glacier. Over the next century, the glacier retreated some 40 miles, and a spruce-hemlock
forest began to develop. By 1916, it had retreated 65 miles from the position observed by Vancouver in 1794.
Gustavus is located on a flat area formed by the outwash from the glacier and the area is still growing.
Gustavus began as an agricultural homestead in 1914. It was once known as Strawberry Point due to the
abundant wild strawberries. The current name was derived from Point Gustavus, which lies 7 miles to the
southwest. Glacier Bay National Monument (including Gustavus) was established by President Calvin
Coolidge in 1925. After many appeals the homesteaders were able to keep their land and the Gustavus area
was excluded from the monument. It became a National Park in 1980 with the passage of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act. The City of Gustavus was incorporated on April 1, 2004.

LOCATION Haines is located on the western shore of Lynn Canal, between the Chilkoot and Chilkat Rivers. It is 80 air
miles northwest of Juneau, just south of the Canadian border at British Columbia, and 600 air miles southeast
of Anchorage and Fairbanks. By road, it is 775 miles from Anchorage.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing, timber, government, tourism, and transportation are the primary employers. 128 area
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Many jobs are seasonal. Tourism and the traffic Haines draws as a
result of its road connection to the State Ferry are important. In 2001, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines ceased
serving Haines as a port of call. Today, around 45,000 cruise ship passengers visit yearly. The Chilkat Bald
Eagle Preserve draws visitors from around the world.
HISTORY The Haines area was called "Dei Shu" by the Tlingit, meaning "end of the trail." The Chilkat Tlingit tightly
controlled the trading routes between the coast and the Interior. The first non-Native to settle here was George
Dickinson, an agent for the North West Trading Co., in 1880. In 1881, S. Young Hall, a Presbyterian minister,
received permission from the Chilkat to build the Willard Mission and school. The mission was renamed Haines
in 1884 in honor of Mrs. F.E. Haines, Secretary of the Presbyterian Women's Executive Society of Home
Missions, who had raised funds for the mission's construction. During the Klondike gold rush in the late 1890s,
it grew as a mining supply center, since the Dalton Trail from Chilkat Inlet to Whitehorse offered an easier route
to the Yukon for prospectors. Gold was also discovered 36 miles from Haines in 1899 at the Porcupine District.
Four canneries had been constructed in the area by the turn of the century. The first permanent U.S. military
installation was constructed south of Haines in 1904, Fort William H. Seward. The City was incorporated in
1910. In 1922, the fort was renamed Chilkoot Barracks. Until World War II, it was the only U.S. Army post in
Alaska. It was deactivated in 1946 and sold as surplus property to a group of veterans who established it as
Port Chilkoot. In 1970, the City of Port Chilkoot (formed in 1956) merged with Haines into one municipality. In
1972, the post was designated a national historic site and the name, Fort William Seward, was restored. The
last of the early canneries closed in 1972 due to declining fish stocks. Expansion of the timber industry in the
early 1970s fueled growth. The sawmills closed in 1976. In 2002, the City was consolidated with the Haines
Borough.

LOCATION Hollis is located on the east side of Prince of Wales Island, on Twelvemile Arm, 19 miles east of Craig by road,
and 35 miles west of Ketchikan by water.
ECONOMY Logging is prevalent on the Island, though it does not occur directly in Hollis. Support services for the logging
industry, the U.S. Forest Service, and work for the Alaska Marine Highway provides most employment.
HISTORY Hollis was a mining town with a population of over 1,000 around 1900. Gold and silver were mined until about
1915. In 1953, it became a logging camp when a long-term timber contract was enacted with Ketchikan Pulp
Co. It served as the base for timber operations on Prince of Wales Island until 1962, when the camp was
moved 45 miles north to Thorne Bay. The area was permanently settled by in recent years through a State
land disposal sale. Dock facilities at Hollis provide support for logging operations and state ferry services.

Holy Cross
POPULATION 200
LOCATION Holy Cross is located in Interior Alaska on the west bank of Ghost Creek Slough off the Yukon River. It is 40
miles northwest of Aniak and 420 miles southwest of Fairbanks.
ECONOMY Holy Cross is characterized by a seasonal economy. Nine residents hold commercial fishing permits.
Subsistence hunting, fishing, trapping and gardening supplement income.
HISTORY Holy Cross first had contact with Europeans in the early 1840s, when Russian explorers led by Lt. Zagoskin
traveled the Yukon River. They reported "Anilukhtakpak," with 170 people. In 1880, the village was reported as
"Askhomute," with 30 residents. A Catholic mission and school were established in the 1880s by Father
Aloysius Robaut, who came to Alaska across the Chilkoot Trail. Ingalik Indians migrated to Holy Cross to be
near the mission and school. A post office was opened in 1899 under the name "Koserefsky." In 1912, the
name of the town was changed to "Holy Cross," after the mission. In the 1930s and 40s, sternwheelers brought
the mail and supplies two or three times a year. The course of the River changed during the 1930s, and by the
mid-40s, the slough on which the village is now located was formed. The mission Church and many additional
buildings were torn down after the boarding school ceased operations in 1956. The City government was
incorporated in 1968.

Homer
POPULATION 5504
LOCATION Homer is located on the north shore of Kachemak Bay on the southwestern edge of the Kenai Peninsula. The
Homer Spit, a 4.5-mile long bar of gravel, extends from the Homer shoreline. It is 227 road miles south of
Anchorage, at the southern-most point of the Sterling Highway.
ECONOMY Homer is primarily a fishing, fish processing, trade and service center, and enjoys a considerable seasonal
visitor industry. It has also become a popular retirement community. Approximately 10 cruise ships dock each
summer. During summer months, the population swells with students and others seeking cannery or fishery
employment. Sport fishing for halibut and salmon contribute significantly to the economy. 541 area residents
hold commercial fishing permits. The fish dock is equipped with cold storage facilities, ice manufacturing and a
vacuum fish-loading system. Gates Construction processes wood chips from spruce bark beetle-killed timber
at its Homer Spit facility and exports the chips to Pacific Rim pulp and paper companies. The Alaska Islands
and Ocean Visitor Center is popular for tourism and also serves as the headquarters for the Alaska Maritime
National Wildlife Refuge and Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. The National Park Service
maintains a regional office. Government and health care are major employers.
HISTORY The Homer area has been home to Kenaitze Indians for thousands of years. In 1895 the U.S. Geological
Survey arrived to study coal and gold resources. Prospectors bound for Hope and Sunrise disembarked at the
Homer Spit. The community was named for Homer Pennock, a gold mining company promoter, who arrived in
1896 and built living quarters for his crew of 50 on the Spit. Their plans were to mine the beach sands along
Cook Inlet, from Homer to Ninilchik. The Homer post office opened shortly thereafter. In 1899, Cook Inlet
Coal Fields Company built a town and dock on the Spit, a coal mine at Homer's Bluff Point, and a 7-mile-long
railroad which carried the coal to the end of Homer Spit. Various coal mining operations continued until World
War I, and settlers continued to trickle into the area, some to homestead in the 1930s and 40s, others to work
in the canneries built to process Cook Inlet fish. Coal provided fuel for homes, and there is still an estimated
400 million tons of coal deposits in the vicinity of Homer. The City government was incorporated in March
1964. After the Good Friday earthquake in 1964, the Homer Spit sunk approximately 4 to 6 feet, and several
buildings had to be relocated.

POPULATION 852
LOCATION Hoonah is a Tlingit community located on the northeast shore of Chichagof Island, 40 air miles west of Juneau.
ECONOMY Fishing and local government are mainstays of the economy. 117 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
Some employment occurs at the Hoonah Cold Storage plant. Whitestone Logging Inc. and Southeast
Stevedoring (a sort yard and timber transfer facility) are major private employers. The City and School District
are the main public sector employers. In summer 2004, Hoonah will host cruise ship visitors from the Celebrity
Summit twice each week at Icy Strait Point. Subsistence activities are an important component of the lifestyle.
Salmon, halibut, shellfish, deer, waterfowl and berries are harvested.
HISTORY It is the principal village for the Huna, a Tlingit tribe which has occupied the Glacier Bay/Icy Strait area since
prehistory. Local legend tells of an original ancestral home in Glacier Bay that was destroyed by a glacial
advance. Hoonah means "village by the cliff." The Northwest Trading Co. built the first store in Hoonah in 1880.
In 1881, the Presbyterian Home Mission and school was built. By 1887, 450 to 500 people were wintering in
the village. A post office was established in 1901. In 1912, the Hoonah Packing Co. built a large cannery one
mile north of town. The Thompson Fish Company still operates today as Hoonah Cold Storage. In 1944, a fire
destroyed much of the City and many priceless Tlingit cultural objects. The federal government assisted in
rebuilding the community. The City of Hoonah was incorporated in 1946.

LOCATION Houston is located north of Wasilla in the Mat-Su Borough, 57 road miles north of Anchorage. It lies on the
George Parks Highway, along the Little Susitna River.
ECONOMY Residents are employed in the nearby Wasilla/Palmer area; some commute to Anchorage. Houston is a
popular fishing and recreation center for the Little Susitna River and area lakes. Two residents hold a
commercial fishing permit.
HISTORY Herning Trail (now Willow Creek Sled Trail) was used for freighting supplies to the Willow Creek Mining District.
"Houston Siding" was first listed on a blueprint map of the Alaska Railroad in 1917; it was named after
Congressman Houston of Tennessee. Several coal mines were developed in the area during 1917-18. A
railroad spur was constructed to the Janios & Athens coal mine, which supplied coal to Anchorage and the
LaTouche Mining Co. in Prince William Sound. In the mid-1920s, the Heaven brothers operated a mink farm at
mile 59.6. In 1953-54, gravels roads and power lines were extended west of Wasilla, and Houston was quickly
settled. In 1966, Houston became an incorporated city. In June 1996, the "Miller's Reach" wildfire destroyed
more than 37,500 acres in the Houston and Big Lake area, including 433 buildings and homes valued at $8.9
million.

Hughes
POPULATION 76
LOCATION Hughes is located on a 500-foot bluff on the east bank of the Koyukuk River, about 115 air miles northeast of
Galena and 210 air miles northwest of Fairbanks.
ECONOMY Subsistence is the focus of the local economy. Salmon, freshwater fish, moose, black bear, rabbits, waterfowl
and berries are utilized. Caribou are also sought when available. Most cash is earned from part-time jobs with
the city, school, tribal clinic or store. BLM emergency fire fighting, construction work, skin sewing, beadwork,
sled building, and trapping also provide seasonal income.
HISTORY Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Selawik, and
Nunamiut Eskimos from the north and northwest. The Koyukon lived in several camps throughout the year,
moving as the seasons changed, following the wild game and fish. Hughes was used as a trade center
between Athabascans and Eskimos. Roy (Frederick) Hughes prospected an area two miles upstream in
1884. But according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the community was named in 1910 after New York Gov.
Charles Hughes. It served as a riverboat landing and supply port for the Indian River gold fields until 1915
when the local mining industry declined. The local Natives stayed on, however, and a post office was
established in 1942. An airstrip was built in the 1950s, a school in 1956, and a clinic in 1968. The City was
incorporated in 1973, and local roads were built in 1974. A community-wide electric system was developed in
1981. In September 1994, flood waters destroyed and swept away nearly all of the community's buildings,
homes, and food caches for the winter. Residents have rebuilt homes and facilities.

POPULATION 255
LOCATION Huslia is located on the north bank of the Koyukuk River, about 170 river miles northwest of Galena and 290 air
miles west of Fairbanks. It lies within the Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY Subsistence is central to the local economy. Salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, caribou, small game, waterfowl
and berries provide most food sources. The City, Tribe, school, clinic and stores provide the only full-time
employment. During summer months, BLM fire fighting and construction jobs outside of the village supplement
income. Two residents hold a commercial fishing permit.
HISTORY The Koyukon Athabascans lived between the south fork of the Koyukuk River and the Kateel River. They had
spring, summer, fall, and winter camps, and moved as the wild game migrated. In the summer many families
would float on a raft to the Yukon to fish for salmon. The Koyukon often traded with the Kobuk River Eskimos.
By 1843, Russian explorers had made contact with Athabascans approximately 50 miles downriver from the
current site. The Western Union Telegraph Company explored the River around 1867, and missionary activity
increased after 1870. Cutoff Trading Post (also called Old Town) was established in the 1920s about 4 miles
overland, or 16 river miles, from modern Huslia. In 1949, the community moved to the present site because
Cutoff flooded frequently and the ground was swampy. Huslia (originally spelled Huslee) was named after a
local stream. Huslia had been used as a burial site since 1886, but by the time of the move, most of the old
cemetery had been destroyed by erosion. In 1950, the first school was established, followed by a post office,
airport and road construction in 1952. At this time, families began to live year-round at Huslia. In 1960, a
health clinic was constructed, and in 1963, 29 individual hand-pumped water wells were installed. The City
government was incorporated in 1969. Running water and indoor plumbing arrived in 1974.

Hydaburg
POPULATION 353
LOCATION Hydaburg is located on the southwest coast of Prince of Wales Island, 45 air miles northwest of Ketchikan. It
lies 36 road miles west of Hollis, site of the State Ferry landing.
ECONOMY Hydaburg has a fishing and timber-based economy. 39 residents hold commercial fishing permits. The Haida
Corp. owns a substantial timber holding, although it suspended logging in 1985 due to a decline in the timber
market. The Corporation's log storage facility and sort yard are leased to Sealaska Corp., where residents are
employed with Southeast Stevedoring part-time in shipping and loading timber. The City, school, Haida Corp.
and SEARHC are other leading employers. The community is interested in developing a fish processing
facility, a U.S. Forest Service Visitor Center, specialty woodworking, and a mini-mall/retail center. Subsistence
food sources include deer, salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab.
HISTORY During the mid to late 1700s, the Haida Indians migrated to Prince of Wales, a predominantly Tlingit area, from
Graham Island in the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada. In 1911, three Haida villages combined at the present
site (Sukkwan, Howkan and Klinkwan) for their children to attend school; it was designated as the Hydaburg
Indian Reservation in 1912. The new village established a trading company, store and sawmill. However, the
villagers were never comfortable with the arrangement, and at their request in 1926, the land was restored to
its former status as part of the Tongass National Forest. 189 acres of the land were reserved for the school
and townsite disposals. Hydaburg was incorporated as a City in 1927, three years after its people had become
citizens of the United States. The first fish processing plant opened in 1927, and three other canneries
operated through the 1930s. When the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) was amended in 1936 to include
Alaska Natives, Hydaburg became the first village in Alaska to form an IRA Council.

LOCATION Hyder is nestled at the head of Portland Canal, a 70 mile-long fjord which forms a portion of the U.S./Canadian
border. Hyder is just 2 miles from Stewart, British Columbia, and 75 air miles from Ketchikan. It is the only
community in southern Alaska accessible by road.
ECONOMY Hyder's economy is based primarily on tourism today; visitors cross the border from Canada. Four of the five
largest employers are tourist-related, and visitor services are shared with Stewart, B.C. A bottled water
business employs local residents. Four residents hold commercial fishing permits. Recreational fishing and
hunting provide food for some families. Deer, salmon, shrimp and crab are the favorite resources.
HISTORY Nass River Indians called the head of Portland Canal Skam-A-Kounst meaning safe place probably referring to
the site as a retreat from the harassment of the coastal Haidas. The Nass used this area as a seasonal berry-
picking and bird-hunting site. In 1896, Capt. D.D. Gaillard of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers explored
Portland Canal. Gold and silver lodes were discovered in this area in the late 1898, mainly on the Canadian
side in the upper Salmon River basin. The Stewart brothers arrived in 1902. Hyder was originally called
Portland City, and the name was changed in 1914 after Frederick Hyder, a Canadian mining engineer who
predicted a bright future for the area. Hyder was the only practical point of access to the silver mining
properties in Canada, and the community became the ocean port, supply point, and post office for miners by
1917. Hyder's boom years occurred between 1920 and 1930, when the Riverside Mine on U.S. territory
extracted gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and tungsten. The mine operated from 1924 until 1950. In 1948, the
townsite, built on pilings, was destroyed by fire. By 1956, all major mining had closed except for the Granduc
Copper Mine in Canada, which operated until 1984. Westmin Resources Ltd. currently operates a gold and
silver mine.

LOCATION Igiugig is located on the south shore of the Kvichak River, which flows from Iliamna Lake, on the Alaska
Peninsula. It is 50 air miles northeast of King Salmon and 48 miles southwest of Iliamna.
ECONOMY As is typical for the region, salmon fishing is the mainstay of Igiugig's economy. Five residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Many travel to Naknek each summer to fish or work in the canneries.
Subsistence is an important part of the residents' lifestyle. Salmon, trout, whitefish, moose, caribou and rabbit
are utilized. Some trapping occurs. Lake Iliamna is the second largest lake in the U.S. Trophy rainbow trout
attract sport fishermen. There are seven commercial lodges that serve sports fishermen and hunters
seasonally in Igiugig.
HISTORY Kiatagmuit Eskimos originally lived on the north bank of the Kvichak River in the village of Kaskanak, and used
Igiugig as a summer fish camp. At the turn of the century, these people moved upriver to the present site of
Igiugig. People from Branch also moved to Igiugig as it began to develop. Today, about one-third of residents
can trace their roots back to the Branch River village. A post office was established in 1934, but was
discontinued in 1954. Commercial and subsistence fishing sustain the community.

LOCATION Iliamna is located on the northwest side of Iliamna Lake, 225 miles southwest of Anchorage. It is near the
Lake Clark Park and Preserve.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing, sport fishing, and tourism are the major sources of income for the community. 17
residents hold commercial fishing permits, and many depart each summer to fish in Bristol Bay. Lake Iliamna
is the second largest lake in the U.S., and tourism is increasing. However, most lodge employees are hired
from outside Alaska. Many residents participate in subsistence hunting and fishing activities. Salmon, trout,
grayling, moose, caribou, bear, seal, porcupine and rabbits are utilized. Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. is
exploring the gold, copper and molybdenum potential of the Pebble Deposit, 15 miles from Iliamna.
HISTORY Prior to 1935, "Old Iliamna" was located near the mouth of the Iliamna River, a traditional Athabascan village. A
post office was established there in 1901. Around 1935, villagers moved to the present location, approximately
40 miles from the old site. The post office followed. Iliamna's current size and character can be attributed to the
development of fishing and hunting lodges. The first lodge opened in the 1930s. A second lodge was built in
the 1950s. During the 70s and 80s, lots were made available by the Baptist Church, and additional lodges were
constructed.

LOCATION Ivanof Bay is located on the northeast end of the Kupreanof Peninsula, 500 miles southwest of Anchorage and
250 miles southeast of Dillingham.
ECONOMY Two residents hold commercial fishing permits, for salmon and halibut. Many trap in the winter. The people
depend upon subsistence hunting and fishing, and use salmon, trout, crab, clams, moose, caribou, bear,
porcupine and seals.
HISTORY The bay was named by Lt. Dall of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1880. A salmon cannery operated at
this site from the 1930s to the early 1950s. A post office operated from 1952 to 1954. Several families moved
from Perryville to Ivanof Bay in 1965 in search of better water sources and hunting grounds, and to pursue a
peaceful lifestyle with religious freedom. There are three predominant families, the Shangins, the Kalmakoffs
and the Calugens. The school was closed for the 2000-2001 year, due to insufficient enrollment.

LOCATION Located on the mainland of Southeast Alaska, opposite Douglas Island, Juneau was built at the heart of the
Inside Passage along the Gastineau Channel. It lies 900 air miles northwest of Seattle and 577 air miles
southeast of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The State, City & Borough of Juneau, and federal agencies provide nearly 45% of the employment in the
community. Juneau is home to State Legislators and their staff during the legislative session between January
and May. Tourism is a significant contributor to the private sector economy during the summer months,
providing a $130 million income and nearly 2,000 jobs. Over 690,000 visitors arrive by cruise ship, and another
100,000 independent travelers visit Juneau each year. The Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau Icefield air tours,
Tracy Arm Fjord Glacier, State Museum, and Mount Roberts Tramway are local attractions. Support services
for logging and fish processing contribute to the Juneau economy, and 519 residents hold commercial fishing
permits. DIPAC, a private non-profit organization, operates a fish hatchery which increases the local salmon
population. The Kennecott Green's Creek Mine produces gold, silver, lead and zinc, and is the largest silver
mine in North America.
HISTORY The area was a fish camp for the indigenous Tlingit Indians. In 1880, nearly 20 years before the gold rushes to
the Klondike and Nome, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were lead to Gold Creek by Chief Kowee of the Auk
Tribe. They found mother lode deposits upstream, staked their mining claims, and developed a 160 acre
incorporated city they called Harrisburg, which brought many prospectors to the area. The City of Juneau was
formed in 1900. The state capital was transferred from Sitka to Juneau in 1906 while Alaska was a U.S.
Territory. The Treadwell and Ready Bullion mines across the channel on Douglas Island became world-scale
mines, operating from 1882 to 1917. In 1916, the Alaska-Juneau gold mine was built on the mainland, and
became the largest operation of its kind in the world. In 1917, a cave-in and flood closed the Treadwell mine
on Douglas. It produced $66 million in gold in its 35 years of operation. Fishing, canneries, transportation and
trading services, and a sawmill contributed to Juneau's growth through the early 1900s. The A-J Mine closed in
1944, after producing over $80 million in gold. In 1970, the City of Juneau and City of Douglas were unified
into the City & Borough of Juneau.

ECONOMY The City, School District and Kake Tribal Corp. are the largest employers. Fishing, seafood processing, and
logging contribute considerably to the economy. 67 residents hold commercial fishing permits. The non-profit
Gunnuk Creek Hatchery has assisted in sustaining the salmon fishery. Kake Foods produces smoked and
dried salmon and halibut. Turn Mountain Timber, a joint venture between Whitestone Logging and Kake Tribal
Corp., employs residents in logging tribal corporation lands. Southeast Stevedoring, a Sealaska contractor,
also provides employment at the log sort yard and transfer facility at Point McCarny. Salmon, halibut, shellfish,
deer, bear, waterfowl and berries are important food sources.
HISTORY Historically, the Kake tribe of the Tlingits controlled the trade routes around Kuiu and Kupreonof islands,
defending their territory against other tribal groups in the region. Ventures into the region by early European
explorers and traders resulted in occasional skirmishes between Native Tlingits and the foreigners. Tensions
between locals and outsiders had been escalating when, in 1869, a non-Native sentry at the settlement in Sitka
shot and killed a Kake Native. In accordance with their traditional custom, the Kakes then killed two
prospectors in retribution. In reprisal, the U.S. Navy sent the USS Saginaw to punish the Kakes by shelling
their villages and destroying their homes, boats and stored foods. The Kake people survived this onslaught,
but were forced to disperse and live with other tribes to survive. Over the following 20 years, the Kakes
regrouped at the current village site. In 1891, a government school and store were built. A Society of Friends
mission also was established. A post office was built in 1904. In the early part of this century, Kake became
the first Alaska Native village to organize under federal law, resulting in U.S. citizenship for community
residents. In 1912 the first cannery was built near Kake. After the Second World War, timber harvesting and
processing became a major local industry. The City was incorporated in 1952.

POPULATION 287
LOCATION Kaktovik lies on the north shore of Barter Island, between the Okpilak and Jago Rivers on the Beaufort Sea
coast. It lies in the 19.6-million-acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an occasional calving ground for the
Porcupine caribou herd.
ECONOMY Economic opportunities in Kaktovik are limited due to the community's isolation, and unemployment is high.
Most employment is in education, the North Slope Borough, or in providing City services. Part-time seasonal
jobs, such as construction projects, provide income.
HISTORY Until the late nineteenth century the island was a major trade center for the Inupiat and was especially
important as a bartering place for Inupiat from Alaska and Inuit from Canada. The City was incorporated in
1971.

POPULATION 184
LOCATION Kaltag is located on the west bank of the Yukon River, 75 miles west of Galena and 335 miles west of
Fairbanks. It is situated on a 35-foot bluff at the base of the Nulato Hills, west of the Innoko National Wildlife
Refuge.
ECONOMY Subsistence is an important part of the local economy. Salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, waterfowl and berries
are harvested. Most cash jobs are with the tribe, school, local government, BLM fire fighting, commercial
fishing or fish processing. 18 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY Kaltag is located in Koyukon Athabascan territory, and was used as a cemetery for surrounding villages. It was
located on an old portage trail which led east through the mountains to Unalakleet. The Athabascans had
spring, summer, fall, and winter camps, and moved as the wild game migrated. There were 12 summer fish
camps located on the Yukon River between the Koyukuk River and the Nowitna River. The village was named
by Russians for the Yukon Indian named Kaltaga. A smallpox epidemic, the first of several major epidemics,
struck the Koyukon in 1839. A military telegraph line was constructed along the north side of the Yukon around
1867. Missionary activity was intense along the Yukon, and a Roman Catholic Mission and school opened
upriver in Nulato in 1887. Steamboats on the Yukon, which supplied gold prospectors, peaked in 1900 with 46
in operation. During 1900, food shortages and a measles epidemic struck down one-third of the Native
population. Kaltag was established shortly thereafter, when survivors from three nearby seasonal villages
moved to the area to regroup. A post office opened in 1903, but closed in 1904. Gold seekers left the mid-
Yukon after 1906, but other mining activity, such as the Galena lead mines, began operating in 1919. As a
downriver village on a major transportation route, Kaltag witnessed rapid economic change. The post office
reopened in 1909 and operated until 1920. Kaltag's first school opened in 1925. The post office reopened
again in 1933. The old cemetery, which was located on Front Street, caved into the River around 1937. A
watering point, airport and clinic were constructed during the 1960s. The City government was incorporated in
1969.

POPULATION 27
LOCATION Karluk is located on the west coast of Kodiak Island, on the Karluk River, 88 air miles southwest of Kodiak and
301 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY While fish processing was a primary source of livelihood at one point, today many residents participate in
other types of work as well as subsistence hunting and fishing activities. Salmon, trout, ducks, seals and deer
are harvested.
HISTORY The mouth of the Karluk River is thought to have been populated by Natives for more than 7,000 years. 36
archaeological sites exist in the area. Russian hunters established a trading post here in 1786. At that time,
the village was located on both sides of the Karluk River, in the area of Karluk Lagoon. Between 1790 and
1850, many tanneries, salteries and canneries were established in the area. By 1900, Karluk was known for
having the largest cannery and the greatest salmon stream in the world. A post office was established in
1892. In the early 1900s, canneries were constructed by the Alaska Packers Association. Over-fishing of the
area forced the canneries to close in the late 1930s. After a severe storm in January 1978, the village council
decided to relocate the community to the present site, upstream on the south side of the lagoon. HUD
constructed 23 houses at the new community location. A few high school students attend Mount Edgecumbe
in Sitka.

LOCATION Kasigluk is on the Johnson River in the Kuskokwim River Delta, 26 miles northwest of Bethel. The community
is comprised of Old and New Kasigluk, surrounded by the Johnson River and a network of lakes.
ECONOMY The school, commercial fishing, retail businesses and village government provide the majority of employment
in Kasigluk. Subsistence activities contribute significantly to household diets. 46 residents hold commercial
fishing permits, mainly for salmon set net and herring roe fisheries. Poor fish returns and prices in recent years
have affected the ecnomy.
HISTORY It is an Eskimo village listed as one of the "Tundra Villages" in the 1939 U.S. Census, with a population of 66.
A post office was established in 1962. It incorporated as a city in 1982, but was dissolved on Oct. 21, 1996 in
favor of the traditional village council.

LOCATION Kenai is located on the western coast of the Kenai Peninsula, fronting Cook Inlet. It lies on the western
boundary of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, on the Kenai Spur Highway. It is approximately 65 air miles
and 155 highway miles southwest of Anchorage via the Sterling Highway.
ECONOMY The City is the center of the oil and gas industry, providing services and supplies for Cook Inlet's oil and natural
gas drilling and exploration. Tesoro Alaska's oil refining operations and Unocal's urea plant are located in
North Kenai. Both in-state and out-of-state visitors provide a significant industry on the Peninsula. Other
important economic sectors include sport, subsistence and commercial fishing, fish processing, timber and
lumber, agriculture, transportation services, construction and retail trade. 234 area residents hold commercial
fishing permits. The largest employers are the Borough School District, Unocal, Peak Oilfield Services, the
Borough, and Central Peninsula General Hospital. The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska was completed
in Spring 2000. Logging of spruce bark beetle-killed timber also occurs in the area.
HISTORY Prior to Russian settlement, Kenai was a Dena'ina Athabascan Indian village. Russian fur traders first arrived in
1741. At that time, about 1,000 Dena'ina lived in the village of Shk'ituk't, near the River. The traders called the
people "Kenaitze," or "Kenai people." In 1791, a fortified Russian trading post, Fort St. Nicholas, was
constructed for fur and fish trading. It was the second permanent Russian settlement in Alaska. In 1849, the
Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox Church was established by Egumen Nicholai. In 1869 the U.S. military
established a post for the Dena'ina Indians in the area, called Fort Kenay, which was abandoned in 1870 after
Alaska was purchased by the U.S. A post office was established in 1899. Through the 1920s, commercial
fishing was the primary activity. In 1940, homesteading enabled the area to develop. The first dirt road from
Anchorage was constructed in 1951. In 1957, oil was discovered at Swanson River, 20 miles northeast of
Kenai - the first major Alaska oil strike. The City was incorporated in 1960. In 1965, offshore oil discoveries in
Cook Inlet fueled a period of rapid growth. Kenai has been a growing center for oil exploration, production and
services since that time.

LOCATION Kenny Lake lies off of the Richardson Highway, between mile 1 and 22 on the Edgerton Highway, and between
mile 1 and 11 of the Old Edgerton Highway. It is along the preferred route into the Wrangell-St. Elias National
Park.
ECONOMY Agricultural crops such as hay and vegetables are grown locally, and cattle are raised as well. A school,
sawmill and lumber business, a fur farm, a feed and seed supplier, a glass company and a construction
company are located in Kenny Lake. Horse backpacking trips are available for visitors.
HISTORY The Ahtna people have occupied the region historically. The area was settled in the 1960s by a number of
homesteaders due to the rich fertile soil and agricultural potential. However, a number of homesteaders
cleared 20 acres of land, built a cabin and lived there for 6 months of every year for five years as required to
obtain ownership, then subdivided and sold the property. There are still four original homesteaders farming
their land. Until the 1970s the Old Edgerton Highway was the only road into Kenny Lake.

LOCATION Ketchikan is located on the southwestern coast of Revillagigedo Island, opposite Gravina Island, near the
southern boundary of Alaska. It is 679 miles north of Seattle and 235 miles south of Juneau. The 2.2 million
acre Misty Fiords National Monument lies 22 air miles east of Ketchikan. It is the first Alaska port of call for
northbound cruise ships and State ferries.
ECONOMY Ketchikan is an industrial center and a major port of entry in Southeast Alaska, with a diverse economy.
Ketchikan is supported by a large fishing fleet, fish processing, tourism and timber. 401 area residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Several processing and cold storage facilities support the fishing industry. The
state operates the Deer Mountain Hatchery which produces over 450,000 King, Coho, Steelhead and Rainbow
Trout annually. Cruise ships bring over 650,000 visitors, and another 50,000 independent travelers visit
Ketchikan each year. The Ketchikan Visitors Assoc. office building provides a visitor center and retail space
for 20 tourism operators.
HISTORY Tongass and Cape Fox Tlingits have used Ketchikan Creek as a fish camp which they called "kitschk-hin,"
meaning creek of the "thundering wings of an eagle." The abundant fish and timber resources attracted non-
Natives to Ketchikan. In 1885, Mike Martin bought 160 acres from Chief Kyan, which later became the
township. The first cannery opened in 1886 near the mouth of Ketchikan Creek and four more were built by
1912. The Ketchikan Post Office was established in 1892, and the City was incorporated in 1900. By this time,
nearby gold and copper discoveries briefly brought activity to Ketchikan as a mining supply center. During
1936, seven canneries were in operation, producing 1.5 million cases of salmon. The need for lumber for new
construction and packing boxes spawned the Ketchikan Spruce Mills in 1903, which operated for over 70
years. Spruce was in high demand during World War II, and Ketchikan became a supply center for area
logging. A $55 million pulp mill was constructed at Ward Cove near Ketchikan in 1954. Its operation fueled the
growth of the community. The mill's 50-year contract with the U.S. Forest service for timber was canceled, and
the pulp mill closed in March 1997.

POPULATION 756
LOCATION King Cove is located on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, on a sand spit fronting Deer Passage and Deer
Island. It is 18 miles southeast of Cold Bay and 625 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY King Cove's economy depends almost completely on the year-round commercial fishing and seafood
processing industries. The Peter Pan Seafoods facility is one of the largest cannery operations under one roof
in Alaska. Up to 500 non-residents are brought up to work in the cannery as needed. 62 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Income is supplemented by subsistence activities. Salmon, caribou, geese and
ptarmigan provide food sources.
HISTORY King Cove was founded in 1911 when Pacific American Fisheries built a salmon cannery. Early settlers were
Scandinavian, European and Unangan fishermen. Of the first ten founding families, five consisted of a
European father and an Aleut mother. The City was incorporated in 1949. The cannery operated continuously
between 1911and 1976, when it was partially destroyed by fire. The adoption of the 200-mile fisheries limit
spurred rebuilding. King Cove remains tied to fishing and fish processing.

LOCATION King Salmon is located on the north bank of the Naknek River on the Alaska Peninsula, about 15 miles upriver
from Naknek. It is 284 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Government jobs, transportation and fishing-related employment are the mainstays of the King Salmon
economy. 36 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Air services employ a large portion of the community,
as King Salmon is a major air transportation point for Bristol Bay salmon. The Bristol Bay red salmon fishery is
the largest in the world, although there have been relatively poor seasons, such as in the early 1970s, 1982,
and 1997. Salmon prices have declined in recent years. King Salmon is also a departure point for the Katmai
National Park and Preserve, which includes the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary, Brooks Camp, and the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Fishing for all five species of salmon and rainbow trout are one of this area's
top attractions. King Salmon airport is the summer hub for wilderness and fishing adventures in the area. The
Air Force Base has been closed, although it is maintained under contract by Chugach Development Corp.
HISTORY Present-day tribal members are descendents of a group that was forced to relocate to King Salmon due to the
eruption of Mount Katmai, on the east coast of the Peninsula. In the 1930s, an air navigation silo was built at
King Salmon. At the beginning of World War II, the U.S. built an Air Force base. It was maintained by the
Federal Aviation Administration throughout the war. In 1949, a post office was established, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers constructed a road to Naknek. Other government quarters, such as National Park Service,
Fish & Game, and the weather bureau, were developed. The King Salmon Inn opened in 1956. The
community has grown as a government, transportation, and service center for the commercial red salmon and
recreational visitor industries. In 1993, the Air Force Station went into a caretaker status. It is being maintained
and operated under contract for the Air Force by the Chugach Development Corporation, and supports daily
military activities, including Air Force, Army and Marine training missions, North American Air Defense
(NORAD) missions and US Coast Guard law enforcement and search and rescue missions. As well, the Bristol
Bay Borough and the State of Alaska are using several buildings on the base.

POPULATION 398
LOCATION Kivalina is at the tip of an 8-mile barrier reef located between the Chukchi Sea and Kivalina River. It lies 80 air
miles northwest of Kotzebue.
ECONOMY Kivalina's economy depends on subsistence practices. Seal, walrus, whale, salmon, whitefish and caribou are
utilized. The school, City, Maniilaq Association, village council, airlines and local stores provide year-round
jobs. The Red Dog Mine also offers some employment. Six residents hold commercial fishing permits. Native
carvings and jewelry are produced from ivory and caribou hooves. The community is interested in developing
an Arts and Crafts Center that could be readily moved to the new city site.
HISTORY Kivalina has long been a stopping-off place for seasonal travelers between arctic coastal areas and Kotzebue
Sound communities. It is the only village in the region where people hunt the bowhead whale. At one time, the
village was located at the north end of the Kivalina Lagoon. It was reported as "Kivualinagmut" in 1847 by Lt.
Zagoskin of the Russian Navy. Lt. G.M. Stoney of the U.S. Navy reported the village as "Kuveleek" in 1885. A
post office was established in 1940. An airstrip was built in 1960. Kivalina incorporated as a City in 1969.
During the 1970s, new houses, a new school and an electric system were constructed in the village. Prior to
1976, high school students from Noatak would attend school in Kivalina, and board with local families. Due to
severe erosion and wind-driven ice damage, the City intends to relocate to a new site 7.5 miles away.
Relocation alternatives have been studied and a new site has been designed and engineered. The relocation is
estimated to cost $102 million.

LOCATION Klawock is located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, on Klawock Inlet, across from Klawock Island.
It is 7 miles road north of Craig, 24 road miles from Hollis, and 56 air miles west of Ketchikan.
ECONOMY The economy has been dependent on fishing and cannery operations in the past, however the timber industry
has become increasingly important. Sealaska's logging operations through a contract with Shaan-Seet, Inc.
provide employment in logging and ship-loading in the Klawock and Craig area. 47 residents hold commercial
fishing permits. The state operates a fish hatchery on Klawock Lake that contributes to the local salmon
population. Cannery operations were closed in the late 1980s. City and School District employment are also
significant. Subsistence foods include deer, salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab.
HISTORY Early inhabitants were from Tuxekan, a Tlingit winter village to the north. Klawock was used as a summer
fishing camp, and has been known as Klawerak, Tlevak, Clevak and Klawak. The history of Klawock is closely
tied to the fishing industry. A trading post and salmon saltery were established in 1868, and the first cannery in
Alaska was built here by a San Francisco firm in 1878. The subsequent canneries that sprouted in the area
were operated under contract with Chinese laborers. A hatchery for red salmon operated at Klawock Lake
between 1897 and 1917. In 1929, Klawock incorporated as a City, and a school was constructed. In 1934,
Klawock received federal funds under the Wheeler Howard Act to develop a local cannery, on the condition
that residents vote to be liquor-free. In 1971 the Alaska Timber Corp. build a sawmill. Soon after, the Klawock-
Heenya Village Corp., the Shaan Seet Corp. of Craig, and Sealaska Timber Corp. expanded area facilities with
a log sort yard outside of Klawock and a deep-water dock on Klawock Island. The State constructed a salmon
hatchery on Klawock Lake in 1978, very near the former hatchery site.

POPULATION 101
LOCATION Klukwan is located on the north bank of the Chilkat River, about 22 miles north of Haines, off the Haines
Highway. It lies at the junction of the Kleheni and Tsirku Rivers, 100 miles northeast of Juneau. It is the only
inland settlement in Southeast Alaska.
ECONOMY Logging on village corporation lands on Prince of Wales Island provides seasonal jobs. The community is also
dependent on subsistence. Salmon, halibut, shellfish, deer, mountain sheep, bear and berries are harvested in
season. Several residents participate in blanket weaving, jewelry making and moccasin sewing. The village
wants to develop a Cultural Heritage Center and Museum to attract tourism, featuring Tlingit artifacts and a
bald eagle observatory.
HISTORY In 1880, the U.S. Navy reported the name of the village as "Chilcat of Klukquan," which is said to mean "the old
town." The Chilkat tightly controlled the trails to trade with Interior Indians. At that time, the Chilkat numbered
approximately 1,000 among five area villages. In 1881, the Willard mission and school was constructed in
Haines. Four canneries were built in the area by the turn of the century. In the late 1890s, the Dalton Trail from
Chilkat Inlet to Whitehorse offered an easier route for wagons and cattle to the Klondike gold fields. However,
the Chilkoot Trail out of Skagway was used by most prospectors. By the early 1900s, Klukwan was the last
remaining Chilkat village in the area.

POPULATION 119
LOCATION Kobuk is located on the right bank of the Kobuk River, about 7 miles northeast of Shungnak and 128 air miles
northeast of Kotzebue. It is the smallest village in the Northwest Arctic Borough.
ECONOMY The economy of Kobuk is based on subsistence. Whitefish, caribou and moose provide the majority of meat
sources. Cash employment is limited to the school, City and Maniilaq clinic. Seasonal construction and BLM
fire fighting provide some income.
HISTORY Kobuk was founded in 1899 as a supply point for mining activities in the Cosmos Hills to the north, and was
then called Shungnak. A trading post, school, and Friends Mission drew area residents to the settlement. Due
to river erosion and flooding, the village was relocated in the 1920s to a new site 10 miles downstream, which
was called Kochuk now Shungnak. The few who remained at the village renamed it Kobuk. Ice jams on the
River cause high water each year. In May 1973, a flood covered the entire village. In October 1973, the City
was incorporated.

LOCATION Kokhanok is located on the south shore of Iliamna Lake, 22 miles south of Iliamna and 88 miles northeast of
King Salmon.
ECONOMY The school is the largest employer in Kokhanok. Commercial fishing has declined since several limited entry
permits were sold. Some residents travel to the Bristol Bay area each summer to fish; eight persons currently
hold commercial fishing permits. People heavily rely on subsistence activities; many families have a summer
fish camp near the Gibraltar River. Salmon, trout, grayling, moose, bear, rabbit, porcupine and seal are utilized.
HISTORY This fishing village was first listed in the U.S. Census in 1890 by A.B. Schanz. The community was relocated
to higher ground a few years ago when the rising level of Iliamna Lake threatened several community buildings.

POPULATION 436
LOCATION Kongiganak is located on the west shore of Kuskokwim Bay, west of the mouth of the Kuskokwim River. It lies
70 miles southwest of Bethel and 451 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Approximately half of the employment in Kongiganak is at the school. The remaining employment is with
village services, stores, and commercial fishing. 28 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Poor returns
and reduced salmon prices in recent years have affected the economy. Subsistence activities are important
supplements to income. Some trapping occurs.
HISTORY The area has been occupied historically by Yup'ik Eskimos. The village was permanently settled in the late
1960s by former residents of Kwigillingok, who were seeking higher ground to escape periodic flooding.

LOCATION Kotlik is located on the east bank of the Kotlik Slough, 35 miles northeast of Emmonak in the Yukon-
Kuskokwim Delta. It lies 165 air miles northwest of Bethel, and 460 miles from Anchorage.
ECONOMY Kotlik has a seasonal economy. Fishing and fish processing are the primary income generators. 79 residents
hold commercial fishing permits. The community is interested in developing a local seafood processing facility,
and an arts and crafts project. Kotlik's residents rely heavily on subsistence foods, and many families have
fish camps on the Yukon River. Salmon, moose, beluga whale and seal are harvested. Income is also derived
from trapping.
HISTORY The community grew during the mid-1960s when a BIA school was constructed at Kotlik, and residents of the
nearby villages of Channiliut, Hamilton, Bill Moore's Slough, and Pastolaik relocated. Due to its location with
easy access by large riverboats and barges, Kotlik became one of the larger ports and commercial centers of
the lower Yukon River. Many residents are descendants of Russian traders that settled in the area surrounding
Saint Michael after 1867. The City was incorporated in 1970.

POPULATION 3135
LOCATION Kotzebue is on the Baldwin Peninsula in Kotzebue Sound, on a 3-mile-long spit, which ranges in width from
1,100 to 3,600 feet. It is located near the discharges of the Kobuk, Noatak and Ssezawick Rivers, 549 air
miles northwest of Anchorage and 26 miles above the Arctic Circle.
ECONOMY Kotzebue is the service and transportation center for all villages in the northwest region. It has a healthy cash
economy, a growing private sector, and a stable public sector. Due to its location at the confluence of three
river drainages, Kotzebue is the transfer point between ocean and inland shipping. It is also the air transport
center for the region. Activities related to oil and minerals exploration and development have contributed to the
economy. The majority of income is directly or indirectly related to government employment, such as the
School District, Maniilaq Association, the City and Borough. The Cominco Alaska Red Dog Mine is a
significant regional employer. Commercial fishing for chum salmon provides some seasonal employment. 128
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Most residents rely on subsistence to supplement income.
HISTORY This site has been occupied by Inupiat Eskimos for at least 600 years. Kikiktagruk" was the hub of ancient
arctic trading routes long before European contact due to its coastal location near a number of rivers. The
German Lt. Otto Von Kotzebue "discovered" Kotzebue Sound in 1818 for Russia. The community was named
after the Kotzebue Sound in 1899 when a post office was established. Since the turn of the century expansion
of economic activities and services in the area have enabled Kotzebue to develop relatively rapidly. The City
was formed in 1958. An Air Force Base and White Alice Communications System were later constructed."

LOCATION Koyuk is located at the mouth of the Koyuk River, at the northeastern end of Norton Bay on the Seward
Peninsula, 90 air miles northeast of Nome.
ECONOMY The Koyuk economy is based on subsistence, supplemented by limited part-time jobs. Unemployment is high.
There is a small amount of commercial fishing, primarily for herring, and some income is derived from reindeer
herding. Thirteen residents hold commercial fishing permits. The main sources of meat are fish, reindeer,
seal, beluga whale and moose.
HISTORY The site of "Iyatayet" on Cape Denbigh to the south has traces of early man that are 6,000 to 8,000 years old.
The villagers were historically nomadic. Lt. Zagoskin of the Russian Navy noted the village of "Kuynkhak-miut"
here in 1842-44. A Western Union Telegraph expedition in 1865 found the village of "Konyukmute." Around
1900, the present townsite began to be populated, where supplies could easily be lightered to shore. Two
boom towns grew up in the Koyuk region around 1914: Dime Landing and Haycock. The "Norton Bay Station,"
40 miles upriver, was established to supply miners and residents in 1915. In addition to gold, coal was mined a
mile upriver to supply steam ships and for export to Nome. The first school began in the church in 1915; the
U.S. government built a school in Koyuk in 1928. The City was incorporated in 1970.

LOCATION Koyukuk is located on the Yukon River near the mouth of the Koyukuk River, 30 miles west of Galena and 290
air miles west of Fairbanks. It lies adjacent to the Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge and the Innoko National
Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY There are few full-time jobs in the community; the city, tribe, clinic, school and store provide the only year-
round employment. BLM fire fighting, construction work, and other seasonal jobs often conflict with
subsistence opportunities. Two residents hold commercial fishing permits. Trapping and beadwork
supplement incomes. Subsistence foods include salmon, whitefish, moose, waterfowl and berries.
HISTORY The Koyukon Athabascans traditionally had spring, summer, fall, and winter camps, and moved as the wild
game migrated. There were 12 summer fish camps located on the Yukon River between the Koyukuk River
and the Nowitna River. Friendships and trading between the Koyukon and Inupiat Eskimos of the Kobuk area
has occurred for generations. A Russian trading post was established at nearby Nulato in 1838. A smallpox
epidemic, the first of several major epidemics, struck the Koyukon in 1839. A military telegraph line was
constructed along the north side of the Yukon around 1867, and Koyukuk became the site of a telegraph
station. A trading post opened around 1880, just before the gold rush of 1884-85. The population of Koyukuk
at this time was approximately 150. Missionary activity was intense along the Yukon, and a Roman Catholic
Mission and school opened downriver in Nulato in 1887. A post office operated from 1898 to 1900.
Steamboats on the Yukon, which supplied gold prospectors, peaked in 1900 with 46 boats in operation. A
measles epidemic and food shortages during 1900 tragically reduced the Native population by one-third. Gold
seekers left the Yukon after 1906, but other mining activity, such as the Galena lead mines, began operating in
1919. The first school was constructed in 1939. After the school was built, families began to live at Koyukuk
year-round. The City was incorporated in 1973. The community has experienced severe flooding from both
the Yukon and Koyukuk Rivers, and residents want to relocate.

Kwethluk
POPULATION 721
LOCATION This is a Yup'ik community located 12 air miles east of Bethel on the Kwethluk River at its junction with the
Kuskokwim. The village is the second largest along the Lower Kuskokwim River, following Bethel.
ECONOMY The largest employers are the school district, village corporation, store and health clinic. 61 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Subsistence activities play a central role in the lifestyle; salmon, moose and
caribou are the staples of the diet. Seal meat and seal oil are obtained in trade with coastal relatives and
neighbors. Most families travel to fish camps each summer.
HISTORY Archaeological evidence from a nearby site indicates that the area has been occupied since prehistoric times.
The name Kwethluk is derived from "Kwikli," meaning "river." In the late 1800s, families from four villages on
the Kwethluk River joined others living at the site. In 1889, an Eskimo lay worker for the Moravian Church was
stationed at the village. A measles epidemic struck the village in the late 1890s. The Moravian Church built a
chapel in 1896, followed by a Russian Orthodox Church in 1912. Discovery of gold in nearby creeks in 1909
attracted prospectors to the area, but the finds proved disappointing and most were gone by 1911. One placer
deposit, discovered on the upper Kwethluk River, delivered a small yield and was worked until World War II. A
Moravian orphanage was established three miles upriver. A BIA school with teacher's quarters was built in
1924. In 1939, the villagers owned 31,000 reindeers, used for food and skins. A tuberculosis epidemic at this
time tragically reduced the population. A post office was established in 1947, and a Native-owned store opened
in 1948. An airstrip was cleared in 1956. Snowmachines replaced dog teams in the 1960s as the principal form
of winter transportation. The City was incorporated in 1975.

LOCATION Larsen Bay is located on Larsen Bay, on the northwest coast of Kodiak Island. It is 60 miles southwest of the
City of Kodiak and 283 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The economy of Larsen Bay is primarily based on fishing. 17 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
There are very few year-round employment positions. A large majority of the population depends on
subsistence activities. Salmon, halibut, seal, sea lion, clams, crab and deer are utilized. Five lodges provide
tourist guide service.
HISTORY The area is thought to have been inhabited for at least 2,000 years. Hundreds of artifacts have been
uncovered in the area. Russian fur traders frequented the Island in the mid-1700s. The bay was named for
Peter Larsen, an Unga Island furrier, hunter and guide. In the early 1800s, there was a tannery in Uyak Bay.
The present-day Natives are Alutiiq (Russian-Aleuts). Alaska Packers Association built a cannery in the village
in 1911. The City was incorporated in 1974.

LOCATION Levelock is located on the west bank of the Kvichak River, 10 miles inland from Kvichak Bay. It lies 40 miles
north of Naknek and 278 air miles southwest of Anchorage. It is located near the Alagnak Wild and Scenic
River Corridor.
ECONOMY Fifteen residents hold commercial fishing permits. Most travel to Naknek to fish or work in the canneries during
the summer season. Several seasonal lodges operate in the area. The community relies upon subsistence
activities for a large portion of its diet. Salmon, trout, moose, caribou and berries are harvested.
HISTORY Early Russian explorers reported the presence of Levelock, which they called "Kvichak." The smallpox
epidemic of 1837 killed more than half of the residents of the Bristol Bay region, and left entire villages
abandoned. Kvichak was mentioned during the 1890 census, although the population was not measured. A
measles epidemic hit the region in 1900. A 1908 survey of Russian missions identified "Lovelock's Mission" at
this site. The worldwide influenza epidemic in 1918-19 again devastated area villages. Koggiung Packers
operated a cannery at Levelock in 1925-26. A large fire, attributed to a cannery worker's careless cigarette,
threatened the entire village in 1926, but residents dug fire lines which saved their homes. The fire depleted the
scarce wood resources used to heat homes. A second cannery operated from 1928-29. In 1930 the first school
was built, and a post office was established in 1939. By this time, families had converted their homes to oil
heat. Moose first appeared in the area in the 1930s. During the early 1950s, another cannery was in operation.

LOCATION Lime Village is located on the south bank of the Stony River, 50 miles southeast of its junction with the
Kuskokwim River. The village is 111 air miles south of McGrath, 137 miles east of Aniak, and 185 miles west
of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Subsistence activities are essential. There is no store in Lime Village. Salmon, moose, bear, caribou,
waterfowl and berries are utilized. Some seasonal work is found through BLM fire fighting or trapping. Income
is primarily derived from public assistance programs.
HISTORY Lime Village was named for the nearby limestone hills. The earliest recorded settlement was in 1907, when
Paul, Evan and Zacar Constantinoff were year-round residents. People from nearby Lake Clark used the area
for a summer fish camp. The 1939 U.S. Census called the settlement "Hungry Village." A Russian Orthodox
chapel, Saints Constantine and Helen, was built in 1960. A state school was constructed in 1974.

LOCATION Lower Kalskag is located on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River, 2 miles downriver from Kalskag. It lies 26
miles west of Aniak, 89 miles northeast of Bethel, and 350 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Lower Kalskag's economy is predominantly based on subsistence activities. Salmon, moose, black bear,
porcupine and waterfowl are utilized. Year-round employment is limited to the school district, AVCP, YKHC,
and the Village of Lower Kalskag. Three residents hold commercial fishing permits. DNR and BLM fire fighting
can provide seasonal income.
HISTORY The site was originally used as a fish camp for families of Kalskag, two miles to the northeast. In 1930, people
began to establish year-round homes. The Russian Orthodox residents of Kalskag, a predominantly Roman
Catholic village, moved to Lower Kalskag in the 1930s because of religious differences. The Russian Orthodox
Chapel of St. Seraphim was built in 1940. A school was built in 1959, followed by a post office in 1962, a
sawmill in 1965, and a power plant in 1969. A new church was built in the late 1970s. The City of Lower
Kalskag was incorporated in 1969.

Manley Hot Springs
POPULATION 72
LOCATION Manley Hot Springs is located about 5 miles north of the Tanana River on Hot Springs Slough, at the end of the
Elliott Highway, 160 road miles west of Fairbanks.
ECONOMY The local economy is based on a wide variety of small businesses, with many residents having 3 or 4 means of
income. The Tribe operates the clinic. The Manely Roadhouse is open during summer months. A barter
system thrives between residents. Government employment accounts for about one quarter of the total. Nine
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Gardening, hunting and fishing provide food sources. Salmon and
moose provide the primary meat sources.
HISTORY In 1902 John Karshner, a mining prospector, claimed several hot springs and began a homestead and
vegetable farm on 278 acres. At the same time, a U.S. Army telegraph station and trading post were built. The
area became a service and supply point for miners in the Eureka and Tofty Mining Districts, and was known as
Baker's Hot Springs, after nearby Baker Creek. In 1903, Sam's Rooms and Meals, now called the Manley
Roadhouse, opened in the community. Ambitious farming and livestock operations in the area produced fresh
meat, poultry and produce for sale. In 1907, miner Frank Manley built the Hot Springs Resort Hotel. The resort
was a large four-story building with 45 guest rooms, steam heat, electric lights, hot baths, bar, restaurant,
billiard room, bowling alley, barber shop and an Olympic-size indoor swimming pool which used heated water
from the hot springs. During the summer, the hotel's private launch transported guests from steamers on the
Tanana River. In the winter, an overland stagecoach trip from Fairbanks took two days. Due to the resort and
area mining, the town of "Hot Springs" prospered with an Alaska Commercial Company store, a local
newspaper, bakery, clothing stores and other businesses. Local estimates of the area's population in 1910 was
more than 500. In 1913, this thriving resort burned to the ground. Mining was also declining and by 1920 only
29 residents lived in Hot Springs. The name was changed to Manley Hot Springs in 1957. A small school re-
opened in 1958. In 1959, completion of the Elliott Highway gave Manley a road link with Fairbanks during the
summer. In 1982, the state began maintaining the Highway for year-round use. A new resort with a small
swimming pool opened in 1985, but closed in 1997.

Manokotak
POPULATION 431
LOCATION Manokotak is located 25 miles southwest of Dillingham on the Igushik River. It lies 347 miles southwest of
Anchorage.
ECONOMY 96 residents hold commercial fishing permits for salmon and herring fisheries. Many residents also trap fox,
beaver, mink and otter. Most villagers leave Manokotak during the fishing season. Everyone depends heavily
on fishing and subsistence activities, and usually move to Igushik or Ekuk each summer. Salmon, herring, sea
lion, beluga whale, trout, ptarmigan, duck and berries are harvested. Sharing relationships exist with several
area villages, especially Togiak and Twin Hills. The government provides 83% of the employment in the area.
HISTORY Manokotak is one of the newer villages in the Bristol Bay region. It became a permanent settlement in 1946-47
with the consolidation of the villages of Igushik and Tuklung. People also migrated from Kulukak, Togiak and
Aleknagik. Igushik is now used as a summer fish camp by many of the residents of Manokotak. School was
conducted in a church constructed in 1949. A school was built in 1958-59. A post office was established in
1960. Trapping has been an attractive lure to the area, although it has declined since the 1960s. The City was
incorporated in 1970. Manokotak is the fourth most poplulated village in the Dillingham census area.

POPULATION 388
LOCATION Marshall is located on the north bank of Polte Slough, north of Arbor Island, on the east bank of the Yukon
River in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. It lies on the northeastern boundary of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife
Refuge.
ECONOMY Marshall has a seasonal economy with most activity during the summer. Fishing, fish processing and BLM fire
fighting positions are available seasonally. 39 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence
activities supplement income. Salmon, moose, bear, and waterfowl are harvested. Trapping provides some
income.
HISTORY An expedition came upon an Eskimo village at this site in 1880, called "Uglovaia." Gold was discovered on
nearby Wilson Creek in 1913. "Fortuna Ledge" became a placer mining camp, named after the first child born
at the camp, Fortuna Hunter. Its location on a channel of the Yukon River was convenient for riverboat
landings. A post office was established in 1915, and the population grew to over 1,000. Later the village was
named for Thomas Riley Marshall, Vice President of the United States under Woodrow Wilson from 1913-21.
The community became known as "Marshall's Landing." When the village incorporated as a second-class city
in 1970, it was named Fortuna Ledge, but was commonly referred to as Marshall. The name was officially
changed to Marshall in 1984.

LOCATION McCarthy lies 61 miles east of Chitina off the Edgerton Highway. It is on the Kennicott River at the mouth of
McCarthy Creek, 12 miles northeast of the junction of the Nizina and Chitina Rivers, in the heart of the
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve.
ECONOMY Employment is limited and seasonal. Local businesses include lodges, a museum, a small store, gift shop,
and guide services.
HISTORY The Kennecott copper mines and camp were established about 1908 across from the Kennicott Glacier, 4.5
miles up the mountain from McCarthy. An early misspelling named the mine and mining company Kennecott,
while the town, river and glacier are spelled Kennicott. In 1911, the Copper River & Northwestern Railway
carried its first car load of ore from Kennecott to Cordova. Since no gambling or drinking were allowed at the
town of Kennicott, nearby McCarthy developed as a colorful diversion for the miners. It provided a newspaper,
stores, hotels, restaurants, saloons, a red light district, housing over 800 residents. Kennicott became a
company town with homes, a school, hospital, gym, tennis court and silent movie theater. Over its 30-year
operation, $200 million in ore was extracted from Kennecott, the richest concentration of copper ore known in
the world. In 1938, the mines closed and both towns were abandoned.

McGrath
POPULATION 315
LOCATION McGrath is located 221 miles northwest of Anchorage and 269 miles southwest of Fairbanks in Interior Alaska.
It is adjacent to the Kuskokwim River directly south of its confluence with the Takotna River.
ECONOMY McGrath functions as a transportation, communications, and supply center in Interior Alaska. It has a diverse
cash economy, and many families rely upon subsistence. Salmon, moose, caribou, bear, and rabbits are
utilized. Some residents trap and tend gardens. The Nixon Fork gold mine, located 30 miles northeast of
McGrath, ceased operating due to low gold prices.
HISTORY McGrath was a seasonal Upper Kuskokwim Athabascan village which was used as a meeting and trading
place for Big River, Nikolai, Telida and Lake Minchumina residents. The Old Town McGrath site, was originally
located across the river. In 1904, Abraham Appel established a trading post at the old site. In 1906, gold was
discovered in the Innoko District, and at Ganes Creek in 1907. Since McGrath is the northernmost point on the
Kuskokwim River accessible by large riverboats, it became a regional supply center. By 1907, a town was
established, and was named for Peter McGrath, a local U.S. Marshal. In 1909, the Alaska Commercial
Company opened a store. The Iditarod Trail also contributed to McGrath's role as a supply center. From 1911
to 1920, hundreds of people walked and mushed over the Trail on their way to the Ophir gold districts. Mining
sharply declined after 1925. After a major flood in 1933, some residents decided to move to the south bank of
the River. Changes in the course of the River eventually left the old site on a slough, useless as a river stop.
In 1937, the Alaska Commercial Company opened a store at the new location. In 1940, an airstrip was
cleared, the FAA built a communications complex, and a school was opened. McGrath became an important
refueling stop during World War II, as part of the Lend-Lease Program between the U.S. and Russia. In 1964,
a new high school was built, attracting boarding students from nearby villages. The City was incorporated in
1975.

LOCATION Mekoryuk is at the mouth of Shoal Bay on the north shore of Nunivak Island in the Bering Sea. The Island lies
30 miles off the coast. It is 149 air miles west of Bethel and 553 miles west of Anchorage. Mekoryuk is part of
the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY Employment by the school, City, village corporation, commercial fishing, construction and service industries
prevails. The Bering Sea Reindeer Products Co. is a major employer. Trapping and Native crafts, such as
knitting qiviut (musk ox underwool), provide income to many families. 55 residents hold commercial fishing
permits, primarily for halibut and herring roe. Coastal Villages Seafood, Inc. processes halibut and salmon in
Mekoryuk. Almost all families engage in subsistence activities and most have fish camps. Salmon, reindeer,
seal meat and oil are important staples.
HISTORY Nunivak Island has been inhabited for 2,000 years by the Nuniwarmiut people, or Cup'ik (Choop'ik) Eskimos.
The first outside contact was in 1821 by the Russian American Company, who recorded 400 people living in 16
villages on the Island. A summer camp called "Koot" was noted at the current site of Mekoryuk in 1874. In
1891, Ivan Petroff found 702 Eskimos in 9 villages, including 117 people at "Koot." An epidemic in 1900
decimated the population, leaving only four surviving families in the village. In the 1930s, the Evangelical
Covenant Church was built by an Eskimo missionary, followed by a BIA school in 1939. People moved to the
village from other areas of the Island to be near the school. Reindeer were introduced for commercial purposes
in 1920 by an Eskimo-Russian trader. The operation was purchased by the BIA in the 1940s and a
slaughterhouse was constructed in 1945. The reindeer were crossed with caribou from Denali Park; the
resulting animals are larger and harder to handle than other reindeer in the state. 34 musk-ox from Greenland
were transferred to the Island in 1934 in an effort to save the species from extinction. Today, the musk-ox herd
numbers around 500, and calves from this herd have been relocated and introduced to other areas of Alaska.
A post office was opened in 1940. In the 1940s, the women lived in semi-subterranean sod houses and the
men stayed at one or more "kasigi", or men's community houses. At that time, traditional ceremonies and
religious beliefs were still practiced. The 50s and 60s brought considerable change. An airstrip was built in
1957, and the Territorial Guard was formed. Men went to Fort Richardson near Anchorage for training. By this
time, Mekoryuk was the only permanent community on the Island. During this time, many families moved to
Bethel to be near the high school, returning during late Spring for fishing and sea mammal hunting. The City
was incorporated in 1969. A high school was constructed in 1978.

POPULATION 109
LOCATION Mentasta Lake is located 6 miles off the Tok-Slana Cutoff of the Glenn Highway on the west side of Mentasta
Pass, 38 miles southwest of Tok Junction.
ECONOMY Subsistence hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering make up much of Mentasta Lake's economy. Cash
employment is limited and seasonal.
HISTORY The area is reported to have been the best-known route of Native immigration across the Alaska Range. Early
village settlements have been located at various sites around the lake. The families that presently reside in
Mentasta Lake come from Nabesna, Suslota, Slana and other villages within the area. The U.S. Army Signal
Corps established a telegraph station at Mentasta Pass in 1902. A post office was established at the village in
1947, but was discontinued in 1951.

POPULATION 1404
LOCATION Metlakatla is located at Port Chester on the west coast of Annette Island, 15 miles south of Ketchikan. By air,
it is 3.5 hours from Anchorage and 1.5 hours from Seattle.
ECONOMY Metlakatla's economy is based primarily on fishing, fish processing and services. Because it is a federal Indian
reservation, there are no local taxes. The community built a salmon hatchery on Tamgas Creek which
releases millions of fry of all five salmon species. The largest employer is the Metlakatla Indian Community,
which operates the hatchery, the tribal court, and all local services. Annette Island Packing Co. is a cold
storage facility owned by the community. The cannery and two sawmills no longer operate. 49 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. The community is interested in developing tourism. Residents rely on salmon,
halibut, clams and waterfowl for food.
HISTORY Metlakatla means saltwater channel passage and was founded by a group of Canadian Tsimshians who
migrated from Prince Rupert, British Columbia in 1887 seeking religious freedom. They were led by a Scottish
lay priest in the Anglican Church (Church of England), Reverend William Duncan, who had begun his
missionary work with the Tsimshians at Fort Simpson, B.C., in 1857. Rev. Duncan traveled to Washington
D.C. around 1886 to personally request land from President Grover Cleveland for the Tsimshians. The Island
was selected by a local search committee, and by 1890, there were 823 residents. Congress declared Annette
Island a federal Indian reservation in 1891. Residents built a church, a school, a sawmill and a cannery, and
constructed homes in an orderly grid pattern. Duncan continued to inspire and lead his followers until his death
in 1918. In 1927, the community built a hydroelectric plant. During World War II, the U.S. Army constructed a
large air base a few miles from town, which was later used for commercial amphibian flights to Ketchikan. The
U.S. Coast Guard also maintained a base on the Island until 1976. The Annette Island Reserve remains the
only federal reservation for indigenous peoples in Alaska.

Minto
POPULATION 180
LOCATION Minto is located on the west bank of the Tolovana River, 130 miles northwest of Fairbanks. It lies on an 11-
mile spur road off of the Elliott Highway.
ECONOMY Most of the year-round employment is with the school, lodge, clinic or village council. Many residents work
during summers fire fighting for the BLM. Some residents trap or work in the arts and crafts center, making
birch-bark baskets and beaded skin and fur items. Subsistence is an important part of the local economy.
Most families travel to fish camp each summer. Minto Flats is one of the most popular duck hunting spots in
Alaska. Salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, small game, waterfowl and berries are utilized.
HISTORY Minto is in the western-most portion of traditional Tanana Athabascan territory. During the late 1800s, some
members of the Minto band traveled to Tanana, Rampart and Fort Yukon to trade furs for manufactured goods,
tea and flour. With the discovery of gold north of Fairbanks in 1902, steamboats began to navigate the Tanana
River, bringing goods and new residents into the area. Old Minto became a permanent settlement when some
members of the Minto band built log cabins there, on the bank of the Tanana River. Other families lived in
tents on a seasonal basis. A BIA school was established in 1937, but most families still did not live in Minto
year-round until the 1950s. The Minto band was eventually joined by families from Nenana, Toklat,
Crossjacket and Chena. The village was relocated to its present location, 40 miles north of the old site, in
1969 due to repeated flooding and erosion. The present site had been used as a fall and winter camp since
the early 1900s. New housing and a new school were completed by 1971.

Mountain Village
POPULATION 784
LOCATION Mountain Village is on the north bank of the Yukon River, approximately 20 miles west of St. Mary's and 470
miles northwest of Anchorage. It is at the foot of the 500' Azachorok Mountain, the first mountain encountered
by those traveling up the Yukon.
ECONOMY Mountain Village has a seasonal economy based on fishing and subsistence. 92 residents hold commercial
fishing permits. There are a few full-time positions with the City, school district, federal government and native
corporation. Subsistence foods are relied upon, including salmon, moose and waterfowl. Some residents trap
for additional income.
HISTORY Mountain Village was a summer fish camp until the opening of a general store in 1908. This prompted
residents of Liberty Landing and Johnny's Place to immigrate. A Covenant Church missionary school was also
built in that same year. A post office was established in 1923, followed by a salmon saltery in 1956 and a
cannery in 1964. All three have since ceased operating. The City government was incorporated in 1967.
Mountain Village became a regional education center in 1976 when it was selected as headquarters for the
Lower Yukon School District.

POPULATION 543
LOCATION Naknek is located on the north bank of the Naknek River, at the northeastern end of Bristol Bay. It is 297 miles
southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The economy is based on government employment, salmon fishing and processing. Naknek has a seasonal
economy as a service center for the huge red salmon fishery in Bristol Bay. 115 residents hold commercial
fishing permits, and several thousand people typically flood the area during the fishing season. Millions of
pounds of salmon are trucked over Naknek-King Salmon road each summer, where jets transport the fish to
the lower 48. Trident Seafoods, North Pacific Processors, Ocean Beauty and other fish processors operate
facilities in Naknek. Naknek is also the seat of the Bristol Bay Borough.
HISTORY This region was first settled over 6,000 years ago by Yup'ik Eskimos and Athabascan Indians. In 1821, the
original Eskimo village of Naugeik" was noted by Capt. Lt. Vasiliev. By 1880 the village was called Kinuyak. It
was later spelled Naknek by the Russian Navy. The Russians built a fort near the village and fur trappers
inhabited the area for some time prior to the U.S. purchase of Alaska. The first salmon cannery opened on the
Naknek River in 1890. By 1900 there were approximately 12 canneries in Bristol Bay. The Homestead Act
enabled canneries to acquire land for their plants and also made land available to other institutions and
individuals. The parcel owned by the Russian Orthodox Church on the north bank of the River was the first
land recorded in Naknek. Squatters built shelters on the church property and were eventually sold lots in what
became the center of Naknek. A post office was established in 1907. Naknek has developed over the years
as a major fishery center."

LOCATION Nanwalek is located at the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, 10 miles southwest of Seldovia and east of Port
Graham.
ECONOMY The school, subsistence activities, and summer employment at the Port Graham cannery provide income.
Seven residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The village was originally the site of a Russian Trading Post called Alexandrovsk. It was later called
"Odinochka," meaning "a person living in solitude." A Russian Orthodox Church was built in the community in
1870. In 1930, a replacement Church was constructed, and it is a designated national historic site. In 1991,
locals changed the community name of English Bay to Nanwalek, meaning "place by lagoon." Many of the
current residents are of mixed Russian and Sugpiaq (Alutiiq) lineage. Villagers speak Sugtestun, a dialect of
Eskimo similar to Yup'ik.

LOCATION Napakiak is on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River, 15 miles southwest of Bethel. It is located on an island
between the Kuskokwim River and Johnson's Slough. It lies 407 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Napakiak's primary employers include the school and local, state, and federal governments. Seasonal
commercial fishing, construction projects, trapping and crafts also provide income. 43 residents hold
commercial fishing permits, primarily for herring roe and salmon net fisheries. Subsistence foods provide an
estimated 50% of the local diet. Most families have fish camps. Salmon, waterfowl, moose, bear and seals
provide meat.
HISTORY Yup'ik Eskimos have lived in this region since 1,000 A.D. The village was first reported in 1878 by E.W.
Nelson, although it was downriver, at the mouth of the Johnson River. In 1884, Moravian explorers mention
Napakiak as being close to Napaskiak, which suggests that the new village site may have been occupied by
that time. By 1910, the village had a population of 166. In 1926, the Moravian Church had a lay worker in the
village who began constructing a chapel; funds were raised for construction by the Ohio Moravian Association.
It took three years to complete the work, and in August 1929, people came from many villages in the area to
attend the dedication ceremony. In 1939, a BIA school began operating, and in 1946 a Native-owned village
cooperative store was opened. A post office was established in 1951. The National Guard Armory was built in
1960. The City was incorporated in 1970. The first airstrip was completed in 1973, enabling year-round
access. The City's primary priority at this time is to relocate all public facilities and homes to a bluff across
Johnson's Slough. The sandbar on which the City was built is severely eroding.

LOCATION Nelson Lagoon is located on the northern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, on a narrow sand spit that separates
the lagoon from the Bering Sea. It is 580 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Nelson Lagoon is situated in the middle of a rich and productive salmon fisheries area. 24 residents hold
commercial fishing permits, primarily salmon gillnet. Subsistence activities balance the seasonal nature of the
fishery. Some trapping occurs. Residents are interested in developing a small seafood processing and cold
storage facility.
HISTORY Nelson Lagoon has been used historically as an Unangan summer fish camp. The resources of the lagoon
and nearby Bear River are excellent. The lagoon was named in 1882 for Edward William Nelson of the U.S.
Signal Corps, an explorer in the Yukon Delta region between 1877 and 1920. A salmon saltery operated from
1906 to 1917, which attracted Scandinavian fishermen, but there has been no cannery since. In 1965 a school
was built and the community began to be occupied year-round.

New Stuyahok
POPULATION 448
LOCATION New Stuyahok is located on the Nushagak River, about 12 miles upriver from Ekwok and 52 miles northeast of
Dillingham. The village has been constructed at two elevations -- one 25 feet above river level, and one about
40 feet above river level.
ECONOMY The primary economic base in New Stuyahok is the salmon fishery; 43 residents hold commercial fishing
permits. Many trap as well. The entire community relies upon subsistence foods. Subsistence items are often
traded between communities. Salmon, moose, caribou, rabbit, ptarmigan, duck and geese are the primary
sources of meat.
HISTORY The present location is the third site that villagers can remember. The village moved downriver to the
Mulchatna area from the Old Village" in 1918. During the 1920s and 30s the village was engaged in herding
reindeer for the U.S. government. However by 1942 the herd had dwindled to nothing; the village had been
subjected to flooding; and the site was too far inland even to receive barge service. So in 1942 the village
moved downriver again to its present location. Stuyahok appropriately means "going downriver place." The
first school was built in 1961. A post office was also established during that year. An airstrip was built soon
thereafter and the 1960s saw a 40% increase in the village population. The City was incorporated in 1972."

Newtok
POPULATION 353
LOCATION Newtok is on the Ninglick River north of Nelson Island in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Region. It is 94 miles
northwest of Bethel.
ECONOMY The school, clinic, village services, and commercial fishing provide employment. Subsistence activities and
trapping supplement income. 27 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The people of Newtok share a heritage with Nelson Island communities; their ancestors have lived on the
Bering Sea coast for at least 2,000 years. The people from the five villages are known as Qaluyaarmiut, or "dip
net people." Only intermittent outside contact occurred until the 1920s. In the 1950s the Territorial Guard found
volunteers from Newtok while they were traveling to Bethel. Tuberculosis was a major health problem during
this period. In the late 1950s, the village was relocated from Old Kealavik ten miles away to its present location
to escape flooding. A school was built in 1958, although high school students were required to travel to Bethel,
St. Mary's, Sitka or Anchorage for their education. This was often their first exposure to the outside, and
students returned with a good knowledge of the English language and culture. A high school was constructed
in Newtok in the 1980s. A City was incorporated in 1976, but it was dissolved on Jan. 28, 1997. Due to severe
erosion, the village wants to relocate to a new site called Taqikcaq, approximately 5 miles away on Nelson
Island. In November 2003, the 108th Congress passed S. 924, allowing the village to relocate to Nelson Island.
The legislation authorizes an exchange of lands between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Newtok
Native Corporation to allow villagers to relocate.

LOCATION Nightmute is located on Nelson Island, in western Alaska. It is 18 miles upriver from Toksook Bay and 100
miles west of Bethel.
ECONOMY The economy is a mixture of both subsistence and cash-generating activities. Employment is primarily with the
City, school, services, commercial fishing and construction. Trapping and crafts also provide income. Almost
all families engage in either commercial or subsistence fishing, and most have fish camps. 31 residents hold
commercial fishing permits for herring roe, salmon drift and net fisheries.
HISTORY Nelson Island has been inhabited by the Qaluyaarmiut, or dip net people for 2,000 years. The area was
relatively isolated from outside contact, and has kept its traditions and culture. Umkumiut is the traditional fish
camp. In 1964, several residents moved to Toksook Bay to obtain more cost-effective goods. The City was
incorporated in 1974.

LOCATION Nikiski is located on the Kenai Peninsula, 9 miles north of the City of Kenai, off of the Sterling Highway. It is
also known as Port Nikiski and Nikishka.
ECONOMY Nikiski is the site of a Tesoro Alaska oil refinery, where Cook Inlet and some North Slope crude oil is
processed into jet fuel, gasoline and diesel. BP has constructed a natural gas to liquid fuel pilot plant in
Nikiski. Agrium, Inc. employs 500 residents at its fertilizer plant, producing 1 million tons of urea and 600,000
tons of ammonia annually. Timber, commercial and sport fishing, government, retail businesses and tourism-
related services also provide employment. 56 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Alaska Petroleum
Contractors and Natchiq Inc. are building portable modules in Nikiski to be shipped to the Alpine oil field in
North Slope.
HISTORY Traditionally in Kenaitze Indian territory, the area was homesteaded in the 1940s, and grew with the discovery
of oil on the Kenai Peninsula in 1957. By 1964, oil-related industries located here included Unocal, Phillips 66,
Chevron and Tesoro.

Nikolai
POPULATION 88
LOCATION Nikolai is located in Interior Alaska on the south fork of the Kuskokwim River, 46 air miles east of McGrath.
ECONOMY Village employment peaks during the summer when construction gets under way. City, state and federal
governments provide the primary year-round employment. Residents rely heavily on subsistence activities for
food and wood for heat. Some residents tend gardens. Salmon, moose, caribou, rabbits, and the occasional
bear are utilized. Trapping and handicrafts also provide income.
HISTORY Nikolai is an Upper Kuskokwim Athabascan village, and has been relocated at least twice since the 1880s.
One of the former sites was reported in 1899 to have a population of six males. The present site was
established around 1918. Nikolai was the site of a trading post and roadhouse during the gold rush. It was
situated on the Rainy Pass Trail, which connected the Ophir gold mining district to Cook Inlet. It became a
winter trail station along the Nenana-McGrath Trail, which was used until 1926. By 1927, the St. Nicholas
Orthodox Church was constructed. In 1948, a private school was established, and in 1949, a post office
opened. Local residents cleared an airstrip in 1963, which heralded year-round accessibility to the community.
The City was incorporated in 1970.

Nikolski
POPULATION 33
LOCATION Nikolski is located on Nikolski Bay, off the southwest end of Umnak Island, one of the Fox Islands. It lies 116
air miles west of Unalaska, and 900 air miles from Anchorage.
ECONOMY Most residents support themselves by working outside the village at crab canneries and on processing ships.
The lack of a harbor and dock have limited fisheries-related activities. The village is interested in developing a
small value-added fish processing plant and a sport fishing lodge to attract former residents who left Nikolski
for economic reasons. A sport-fishing charter boat was recently purchased by APICDA. Sheep, cattle and
horses graze over much of the island. Income is supplemented by subsistence activities, which provide a
substantial part of the villagers' diets. Salmon, halibut, seals and ducks are utilized.
HISTORY Nikolski is reputed by some to be the oldest continuously-occupied community in the world. Archaeological
evidence from Ananiuliak Island, on the north side of Nikolski Bay, dates as far back as 8,500 years ago. The
Chaluka archaeological site, in the village of Nikolski, indicates 4,000 years of virtually continuous occupation.
People were living in Nikloski before the pyramids were built, the Mayan calendar was invented, or the Chinese
language was written. In 1834, it was the site of sea otter hunting, and was recorded by the Russians as
"Recheshnoe," which means "river." In 1920, a boom in fox farming occurred here. The Unangan became
affluent enough to purchase a relatively large boat, the "Umnak Native," which was wrecked in 1933. A sheep
ranch was established in 1926 as part of the Aleutian Livestock Company. In June 1942, when the Japanese
attacked Unalaska and seized Attu and Kiska, residents were evacuated to the Ketchikan area. Locals were
allowed to return in 1944, but the exposure to the outside world brought about many changes in the traditional
lifestyle and community attitudes. In the 1950s, the Air Force constructed a White Alice radar communication
site here, which provided some jobs. It was abandoned in late 1977.

POPULATION 489
LOCATION Noatak is located on the west bank of the Noatak River, 55 miles north of Kotzebue and 70 miles north of the
Arctic Circle. This is the only settlement on the 396 mile-long Noatak River, just west of the 66-million acre
Noatak National Preserve.
ECONOMY Noatak's economy is principally based on subsistence, although the available employment is diverse. The
school district, City, Maniilaq and retail stores are the primary employers. Seven residents hold commercial
fishing permits. During the summer, many families travel to seasonal fish camps at Sheshalik, and others find
seasonal work in Kotzebue or fire-fighting. Chum salmon, whitefish, caribou, moose and waterfowl are
harvested.
HISTORY It was established as a fishing and hunting camp in the 19th century. The rich resources of this region enabled
the camp to develop into a permanent settlement. The 1880 census listed the site as Noatagamut, which
means inland river people." A post office was established in 1940."

mining, medical and other businesses provide year-round income. Several small gold mines continue to
provide some employment. NovaGold Resource Inc.'s new mine at Rock Creek, 8 miles north of Nome,
should be producing by 2006. The Rock Creek mine will require $40 million in capital investment, and is
expected to create 100 jobs. Subsistence activities contribute to the local diet.
HISTORY Malemiut, Kauweramiut and Unalikmiut Eskimos have occupied the Seward Peninsula historically, with a well-
developed culture adapted to the environment. Around 1870 to 1880, the caribou declined on the Peninsula
and the Eskimos changed their diets. Gold discoveries in the Nome area had been reported as far back as
1865 by Western Union surveyors seeking a route across Alaska and the Bering Sea. But it was a $1500-to-
the-pan gold strike on tiny Anvil Creek in 1898 by three Scandinavians, Jafet Lindeberg, Erik Lindblom, and
John Brynteson, that brought thousands of miners to the "Eldorado." Almost overnight an isolated stretch of
tundra fronting the beach was transformed into a tent-and-log cabin city of 20,000 prospectors, gamblers, claim
jumpers, saloon keepers, and prostitutes. The gold-bearing creeks had been almost completely staked, when
some entrepreneur discovered the "golden sands of Nome." With nothing more than shovels, buckets, rockers
and wheel barrows, thousands of idle miners descended upon the beaches. Two months later the golden
sands had yielded one million dollars in gold (at $16 an ounce). A narrow-gauge railroad and telephone line
from Nome to Anvil Creek was built in 1900. The City of Nome was formed in 1901. By 1902 the more easily
reached claims were exhausted and large mining companies with better equipment took over the mining
operations. Since the first strike on tiny Anvil Creek, Nome's gold fields have yielded $136 million. The gradual
depletion of gold, a major influenza epidemic in 1918, the depression, and finally World War II, each influenced
Nome's population. A disastrous fire in 1934 destroyed most of the City.

POPULATION 196
LOCATION Nondalton is located on the west shore of Six Mile Lake, between Lake Clark and Iliamna Lake, 190 miles
southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Fishing in Bristol Bay is an important source of income in Nondalton. 14 residents hold commercial fishing
permits. One source of summer employment is firefighting. The community relies heavily on subsistence
hunting and fishing. Many families travel to fish camp each summer. Salmon, trout, grayling, moose, caribou,
bear, dall sheep, rabbit and porcupine are utilized.
HISTORY Nondalton is a Tanaina Indian name first recorded in 1909 by the U.S. Geological Survey. The village was
originally located on the north shore of Six Mile Lake, but in 1940, wood depletion in the surrounding area and
growing mud flats caused the village to move to its present location on the west shore. The post office,
established in 1938, relocated with the villagers. Nondalton formed an incorporated city government in 1971.

POPULATION 1946
LOCATION North Pole is located 14 miles southeast of Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway. It lies 386 miles north of
Anchorage and 2,347 miles north of Seattle.
ECONOMY Employment in the Fairbanks area is extremely diverse, including government, military, retail, medical, and
other services. A Williams Alaska oil refinery produces jet fuel, heating oil, gasoline and diesel from North
Slope crude oil. Fuel trains deliver 90% of the jet fuel produced at the plant to Ted Stevens International
Airport. Petro Star also operates a small distillery. Nine residents hold commercial fishing permits. Every
Christmas season, Santa's helpers are hired to respond to the thousands of letters mailed to the North Pole.
HISTORY In 1944, Bon Davis homesteaded this area. Dahl and Gaske Development Company later bought the Davis
homestead, subdivided it, and named it North Pole, hoping to attract a toy manufacturer who would advertise
products as being made in North Pole. The Santa Claus House was subsequently developed by Con Miller
and his family. The City was incorporated in 1953. Growth from Fairbanks and the nearby Eielson Air Force
Base have increased development over the years.

POPULATION 81
LOCATION Northway is located on the east bank of Nabesna Slough, 50 miles southeast of Tok. It lies off the Alaska
Highway on a 9-mile spur road, adjacent to the Northway airport. It is 42 miles from the Canadian border in the
Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. Northway presently consists of three dispersed settlements: Northway
Junction, at milepost 1264, Northway, at the airport, and the Native village, 2 miles north.
ECONOMY Most wage employment is with facilities or services for the airport. An FAA Flight Service Station and U.S.
Customs office are located at the airport. A motel, cafe, bar and pool hall, grocery store, and electric utility
provide some employment. Fire fighting, construction and trapping also income. Subsistence is important to
the Native population.
HISTORY The area around Northway was first utilized by semi-nomadic Athabascans who pursued seasonal subsistence
activities in the vicinity of Scottie and Gardiner Creeks and Chisana, Nabesna, and Tanana Rivers. The Native
settlement of Northway Village is located 2 miles south of Northway. The Native village was named in 1942
after Chief Walter Northway, who adopted his name from a Tanana and Nabesna riverboat captain. The
development and settlement of Northway was due to construction of the airport during World War II. The
Northway airport was a link in the Northwest Staging Route, a cooperative project between the U.S. and
Canada. A chain of air bases through Canada to Fairbanks were used to supply an Alaska defense during
World War II, and during the construction of the Alcan Highway. A post office was first established in 1941.

LOCATION Nuiqsut is located on the west bank of the Nechelik Channel of the Colville River Delta, about 35 miles from the
Beaufort Sea coast.
ECONOMY Unemployment is high in Nuiqsut. The Kuukpik Native Corporation, school, borough services and the store
provide most of the year-round employment in the village. Trapping and craft-making provide some income.
Caribou, bowhead and beluga whale, seal, moose and fish are staples of the diet. Polar bears are also hunted.
HISTORY The Colville Delta has traditionally been a gathering and trading place for the Inupiat and has always offered
good hunting and fishing. The old village of Nuiqsut (Itqilippaa) was abandoned in the late 1940s because
there was no school. The village was resettled in 1973 by 27 families from Barrow. A school, housing and
other facilities were constructed by federal agencies in the summer of 1973 and 1974; goods were hauled from
Barrow by tractor and snowmachine. The City was incorporated in 1975.

POPULATION 274
LOCATION Nulato is located on the west bank of the Yukon River, 35 miles west of Galena and 310 air miles west of
Fairbanks. It lies in the Nulato Hills, across the River from the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge.
ECONOMY Most of the full-time employment in Nulato is with the City, Tribe, school, clinic and store. During the summer,
BLM fire-fighting positions, construction work and fish processing are important sources of cash. 12 residents
hold commercial fishing permits. Trapping provides an income source in winter. Subsistence foods are a
major portion of the diet, and many families travel to fish camp each summer. Salmon, moose, bear, small
game and berries are utilized.
HISTORY The Koyukon Athabascans traditionally had spring, summer, fall, and winter camps, and moved as the wild
game migrated. There were 12 summer fish camps located on the Yukon River between the Koyukuk River
and the Nowitna River. Nulato was the trading site between Athabascans and Inupiat Eskimos from the Kobuk
area. Western contact increased rapidly after the 1830s. The Russian explorer Malakov established a trading
post at Nulato in 1839. A small pox epidemic, the first of several major epidemics, struck the region in 1839.
Disputes over local trade may have been partly responsible for the Nulato massacre of 1851, in which Koyukuk
River Natives decimated a large portion of the Nulato Native population. The Western Union Telegraph
Company explored the area around 1867. Nulato was a center of missionary activity, and many area Natives
moved to the village after a Roman Catholic mission and school, Our Lady of Snows Mission, was completed
in 1887. Epidemics took heavy tolls on Native lives after the onset of the Yukon and Koyukuk gold rush in
1884. For instance, food shortages and a measles epidemic combined to kill as much as one-third of the
Nulato population during 1900. In 1900, steamboat traffic peaked, with 46 boats in operation. Through the
turn of the century, two steamers a day would stop at Nulato to purchase firewood. A post office was opened
in 1897. Gold seekers left the Yukon after 1906. Lead mining began in the Galena area in 1919. Nulato
incorporated as a City in 1963. A clinic, water supply, new school, telephone and television services were
developed through the 1970s. In 1981, large-scale housing development began at a new townsite on the hills
north of the City, about 2 miles from the old townsite.

POPULATION 201
LOCATION Nunam Iqua is on a south fork of the Yukon River, about 9 miles south of Alakanuk and 18 miles southwest of
Emmonak on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. It lies 500 miles northwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing is the economic foundation of the community. 24 residents hold commercial fishing
permits. There are a few year-round positions with government organizations and the private sector.
Subsistence activities and trapping supplement income. Salmon, beluga whale, seal, moose, and waterfowl
are harvested.
HISTORY Nunam Iqua was historically the location of summer fish camps, due to its location near the Black River. In
Yup'ik, the name means end of the tundra." A man called Sheldon owned and operated a fish saltery at the
site in the late 30s and early 40s. The saltry was later operated by Northern Commercial Company. The
village was first measured in 1950 by the U.S. Census which recorded a population of 43 residents. The City
of Sheldon Point was formed in 1974. In November 1999 residents voted to change their name to the City of
Nunam Iqua."

POPULATION 188
LOCATION Old Harbor is located on the southeast coast of Kodiak Island, 70 miles southwest of the City of Kodiak and
322 miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Many are commercial fishermen or crew; 32 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Most depend to some
extent on subsistence activities for food sources, such as salmon, halibut, crab, deer, seal, rabbit, and bear.
HISTORY The area around Old Harbor is thought to have been inhabited for nearly 2,000 years. The area was visited by
the Russian Grigori Shelikov and his "Three Saints" flagship in 1784. Three Saints Bay became the first
Russian colony in Alaska. In 1788, a tsunami destroyed the settlement. Two more earthquakes struck before
1792. In 1793, the town relocated on the northeast coast to "Saint Paul's," now known as Kodiak. A settlement
was reestablished at Three Saints Harbor in 1884. The town was recorded as "Staruigavan," meaning "old
harbor" in Russian. The present-day Natives are Alutiiq (Russian-Aleuts.) The Old Harbor post office was
opened in 1931. In 1964, the Good Friday earthquake and resulting tsunami destroyed the community; only

POPULATION 80
LOCATION Oscarville is located on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River opposite Napaskiak, 6 miles southwest of
Bethel. It lies 401 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The school and health clinic are the only permanent sources of employment. Residents use the post office
and airstrip at Napaskiak. One resident holds a commercial permit for the salmon net fishery. Trapping and
handicrafts provide some income. Subsistence activities provide most food sources. Salmon, waterfowl,
moose, bear, and seals are utilized.
HISTORY In 1908, Oscar Samuelson and his wife, an Eskimo from the Nushagak region, moved from Napaskiak across
the River and opened a trading post. A few Native families settled nearby and the site came to be known as
Oscarville. Samuelson managed the store for 45 years, until his death in 1953. By 1955, there were 13 homes
and two warehouses in the village. The Samuelsons continued to operate the store until 1975 when it was
sold; it was closed in the early 1980s. A school was built by the BIA in 1964.

Ouzinkie
POPULATION 155
LOCATION Ouzinkie is located on the west coast of Spruce Island, adjacent to Kodiak Island. It lies northwest of the City
of Kodiak and 247 air miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Ouzinkie's economic base is primarily commercial salmon fishing. 26 residents hold commercial fishing
permits. Almost all of the population depends to some extent on subsistence activities for various food
sources. Salmon, crab, halibut, shrimp, clams, ducks, deer and rabbit are utilized.
HISTORY Ouzinkie became a retirement community for the Russian American Company. The Russians referred to the
settlement in 1849 as "Uzenkiy," meaning "village of Russians and Creoles." In 1889, the Royal Packing
Company constructed a cannery at Ouzinkie. Shortly afterward, the American Packing Company built another.
In 1890, a Russian Orthodox Church was built, and in 1927, a post office was established. Cattle ranching was
popular in the early 1900s. In 1964, the Good Friday earthquake and resulting tsunami destroyed the Ouzinkie
Packing Company cannery. Following the disaster, Columbia Ward bought the remains and rebuilt the store
and dock, but not the cannery. The City government was incorporated in 1967. In the late 1960s, the Ouzinkie
Seafoods cannery was constructed. The operation was sold to Glacier Bay, and burned down in 1976 shortly
after the sale. No canneries have operated since.

Palmer
POPULATION 5506
LOCATION Palmer is located in the center of the lush farmlands of the Matanuska Valley, 42 miles northeast of Anchorage
on the Glenn Highway.
ECONOMY Many residents commute to Anchorage for employment. Palmer's economy is based on a diversity of retail
and other services, City, Borough, State and federal government. Some light manufacturing occurs. 73 area
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Palmer is home to 200 musk ox whose underwool (qiviut) is knitted
into garments by Alaska Native women from several rural villages. Between 2,500 and 3,500 garments are
created each year by these women, and sold by an Anchorage cooperative. The 75-acre musk ox farm is also
a tourist attraction. The University has an Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station Office and a district
Cooperative Extension Service office here. The University's Matanuska Research Farm is also located in
Palmer.
HISTORY Two groups of Athabascans -- the Ahtna and Dena'ina -- have lived in this region for centuries. George Palmer
is said to have arrived in 1875. He was a trader in Knik, and around 1890, established a trading post on the
Matanuska River. A railway siding was constructed in Palmer in 1916. In 1935, Palmer became the site of
one of the most unusual experiments in American history: the Matanuska Valley Colony. The Federal
Emergency Relief Administration, one of the many New Deal relief agencies created by President Roosevelt,
planned an agricultural colony in Alaska. 203 families, mostly from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, were
invited to join the Colony. They arrived in Palmer in the early summer of 1935. Although the failure rate was
high, many of their descendants still live in the Mat-Su Valley today. The City of Palmer was formed in 1951.
Construction of the statewide road system, and the rapid development of Anchorage, has fueled growth in the
Mat-Su valley.

LOCATION Paxson lies on Paxson Lake, at mile 185 of the Richardson Highway, at its intersection with the Denali
Highway. It is south of Delta Junction and 62 miles north of Gulkana.
ECONOMY There are five lodges with restaurants and bars in the area, several gift shops, a post office, gas station,
grocery store and bunk house. This area has been a testing site for snowmachine companies for the past
several years. Most income is generated during the summer months. One resident holds a commercial fishing
permit. Hunting and other subsistence activities contribute to their livelihoods.
HISTORY More than 400 archeological sites indicate that this area has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years. In 1906
Alvin Paxson established the Timberline Roadhouse at mile 192, which consisted of a small cabin for a kitchen
and two tents for bunkhouses. His cook, Charles Meier, later started Meier's Roadhouse at mile 174. Paxson
then built a two-story roadhouse at mile 191. He later added a barn with a drying room, pump and sleeping
quarters, two rooms and a bath. A post office, store, wood house and small ice room followed. The Denali
Highway was built in the 1950s from Paxson to Cantwell and the Denali National Park. The 160-mile gravel
road was the only access into the park prior to construction of the George Parks Highway. The Denali Highway
also provides access to the Tangle Lakes Recreation Area, Summit Lake, and the largest active gold mine in
Alaska.

LOCATION Pelican is located on the northwest coast of Chichagof Island on Lisianski Inlet. It lies 80 miles north of Sitka
and 70 miles west of Juneau. Most of the community is built on pilings over the tidelands.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing and seafood processing are the mainstays of Pelican's economy. 41 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Most employment occurs at Pelican Seafoods, which also owns the electric utility,
a fuel company and store. The plant processes black cod, halibut, ling cod, rockfish, and salmon. The City
and school provide some employment.
HISTORY A cold storage plant was the first development at this site in 1938. Kalle (Charley) Raataikainen bought fish in
this area, which he transported to Sitka. He chose this protected inlet as an ideal cold storage site, and named
the place after his fish-packing vessel "The Pelican." Two of his fish-buying scows were used as a cookhouse,
mess hall, bunkhouse and warehouse, and the community of Pelican grew around this operation. A store,
office, sawmill, post office and sauna had been erected by 1939. A school and cannery were developed in the
1940s, and a City was formed in 1943. A boardwalk serves as the town's main thoroughfare, due to the lack of
flat land.

LOCATION Perryville is located on the south coast of the Alaska Peninsula, 275 miles southwest of Kodiak and 500 miles
southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Eleven residents hold commercial fishing permits for the Chignik salmon fishery. During the summer, the
majority of residents leave Perryville to fish in Chignik or Chignik Lagoon. Only a few year-round jobs are
available. Some trap during the winter, and all rely heavily on subsistence food sources. Salmon, trout,
marine fish, crab, clams, moose, caribou, bear, porcupine and seal are harvested.
HISTORY The community was founded in 1912 as a refuge for Alutiiq people driven away from their villages by the
eruption of Mt. Katmai. Many villagers from Douglas and Katmai survived the eruption because they were out
fishing at the time. Captain Perry of the ship "Manning" transported people from the Katmai area to Ivanof Bay,
and later, to the new village site. The village was originally called "Perry," but the "ville" was added to conform
to the post office name, established in 1930.

POPULATION 3072
LOCATION Petersburg is located on the northwest end of Mitkof Island, where the Wrangell Narrows meet Frederick
Sound. It lies midway between Juneau and Ketchikan, about 120 miles from either community.
ECONOMY Since its beginning, Petersburg's economy has been based on commercial fishing and timber harvests.
Petersburg currently is one of the top-ranking ports in the U.S. for the quality and value of fish landed. 469
residents hold commercial fishing permits. Several processors operate cold storage, canneries and custom
packing services. The state runs the Crystal Lake Hatchery which contributes to the local salmon resource.
Residents include salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab in their diet. Petersburg is the supply and service center
for many area logging camps. Independent sportsmen and tourists utilize the local charter boats and lodges,
but there is no deep water dock suitable for cruise ships.
HISTORY Tlingit Indians from Kake utilized the north end of Mitkof Island as a summer fish camp. Some reportedly
began living year-round at the site, including John Lot. Petersburg was named after Peter Buschmann, a
Norwegian immigrant and a pioneer in the cannery business, who arrived in the late 1890s. He built the Icy
Strait Packing Company cannery, a sawmill, and a dock by 1900. His family's homesteads grew into this
community, populated largely by people of Scandinavian origin. In 1910, a City was formed, and by 1920, 600
people lived in Petersburg year-round. During this time, fresh salmon and halibut were packed in glacier ice for
shipment. Alaska's first shrimp processor, Alaska Glacier Seafoods, was founded in 1916. A cold storage
plant was built in 1926. The cannery has operated continuously, and is now known as Petersburg Fisheries, a
subsidiary of Icicle Seafoods, Inc. Across the narrows is the town of Kupreanof, which was once busy with fur
farms, a boat repair yard and a sawmill. Petersburg has developed into one of Alaska's major fishing
communities.

LOCATION Petersville is located on Petersville Road, at mile 114.9 of the George Parks Highway, west of Trapper Creek.
Petersville Road is 17 miles north of the junction to Talkeetna Spur Road. Peters Creek and the Deshka River
flow through the community.
ECONOMY Subsistence and sporting activities are an integral part of the lifestyle. Some residents are retired. Those who
are employed work in a variety of industries such as education, transportation and construction. A lodge and
several bed and breakfast businesses are located in the area.
HISTORY Dena'ina Athbascans have utilized the area historically for hunting. In 1905, gold was discovered on Cache
Creek and upper Peters Creek. In 1917, a freighting trail was built by the Alaska Road Commission from
Talkeetna. The crossing of the Susitna Rvier was by ferry during summer and over ice in the winter.
Petersville became home to a district post office as a result of the road construction. By 1921, there were 24
mining operations in the Yentna Mining District, most with large-scale hydraulic plants. World War II caused a
shut down of nearly all mining operations. Federal homesteading began here in 1948 and continued through
the 1960s. In the late 1970s, many of the previously idle mining sites were brought back into production.

Pilot Point
POPULATION 61
LOCATION Pilot Point is located on the northern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, on the east shore of Ugashik Bay. The
community lies 84 air miles south of King Salmon and 368 air miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The residents of Pilot Point depend upon commercial fishing for the majority of their cash income. 21 residents
hold commercial fishing permits. Up to 700 commercial boats fish in the district. Subsistence is an important
part of the community lifestyle, and trapping is a source of income during the off-season. Salmon, caribou,
moose, geese and porcupine are harvested.
HISTORY This mixed Aleut and Eskimo community developed around a fish salting plant established by C.A. Johnson in
1889. At that time, it was called Pilot Station after the river pilots stationed here to guide boats upriver to a
large cannery at Ugashik. In 1892, Charles Nelson opened a saltery which was sold to the Alaska Packer's
Association in 1895. The saltery continued to expand, and by 1918, developed into a three-line cannery. Many
nationalities came to work in the canneries - Italians, Chinese and northern Europeans. Reindeer herding
experiments at Ugashik helped to repopulate the area after the devastating 1918 flu epidemic, although the
herding eventually failed. A Russian Orthodox Church and a Seventh Day Adventist Church were built in the
village. A post office was established in 1933, and the name was changed to Pilot Point at that time. The
deterioration of the harbor forced the cannery to close in 1958. Pilot Point incorporated as a city in 1992.

LOCATION Pilot Station is located on the northwest bank of the Yukon River, 11 miles east of St. Mary's and 26 miles west
of Marshall on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
ECONOMY Most of the year-round employment is with the school and City government. 56 residents hold commercial
fishing permits. Incomes are supplemented by subsistence activities. Salmon, moose, bear, porcupine and
waterfowl are harvested. Trapping and BLM fire fighting also provide income.
HISTORY The village was first called "Ankachak," and later was moved one-third of a mile upriver to a site called
"Potiliuk." The old village site of Kurgpallermuit is located nearby. This village is a designated historic place -- it
was occupied during the bow and arrow wars between the Yukon and Coastal Eskimos. According to locals,
the Chevak and Pilot Station people periodically fought when the coastal people traveled up the Kashunak
River. A Russian Orthodox Church was built in the early 1900s, and is one of the oldest structures in the
region. R.H. Sargent of the U.S. Geological Survey first noted the village name of Pilot Station in 1916. Local
riverboat pilots who used the village as a checkpoint were responsible for this name change. The community
incorporated as a second-class city in 1969.

LOCATION Pitkas Point is located near the junction of the Yukon and Andreafsky Rivers, 5 miles northwest of St. Mary's
on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. It lies 3 miles by road from the St. Mary's airport.
ECONOMY Employment is limited to a few year-round enterprises. Subsistence activities provide food sources, including
salmon, moose, bear and waterfowl. Dog sledding is prevalent. Two residents hold commercial fishing
permits. All supplies are brought in through Saint Mary's -- there are no public facilities other than a school and
washeteria.
HISTORY Eskimos who first settled there called it Nigiklik a Yup'ik word meaning to the north." It was first reported in
1898 by the U.S. Geological Survey. The village was later renamed for a trader who opened a general store
which was a branch of Northern Commercial Company."

LOCATION Platinum is located on the Bering Sea coast, below Red Mountain on the south spit of Goodnews Bay. It lies
11 miles from Goodnews Bay and 123 miles southwest of Bethel. It is 440 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing, the school, stores and City provide employment. Platinum is a major supplier of gravel to
area villages. Nine residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence activities are also an important
part of the lifestyle. Salmon and seal are the staples of the diet. The community is interested in developing a
marine repair facility and dry dock, a seafood processing plant, specialty seafoods venture, or herring roe
aquaculture project.
HISTORY Platinum is near a traditional village site called Arviq. The community was established shortly after traces of
platinum were discovered by an Eskimo named Walter Smith in 1926. Between 1927 and 1934, several small
placer mines operated on creeks in the area. Some 3,000 troy ounces of platinum were mined over that period,
with a value of about $48 per ounce. A post office opened in 1935. The "big strike" occurred in October of
1936, which brought a stampede of prospectors for "white gold." The claims proved to be too deep for hand
mining methods and were bought out by two companies. The largest, Goodnews Mining Co., eventually
acquired title to over 150 claims. In 1937 a large dredge was built at the mining site, about 10 miles from the
village of Platinum. The Company also constructed bunkhouses, a recreation hall, offices, shops and a
cafeteria. Platinum developed as a "company town," with the store, water, and electricity supplied by the mine.
A school opened in 1960. By 1975, 545,000 ounces of platinum had been mined at the site. The city
government was formed. The mine was later sold to Hanson Properties, who estimate reserves of over
500,000 ounces -- it ceased operations in 1990.

LOCATION Located on the northern tip of Prince of Wales Island, Point Baker is 142 miles south of Juneau and 50 miles
west of Wrangell.
ECONOMY 27 residents hold commercial fishing permits; the majority are hand-trollers. Subsistence and recreational food
sources include deer, salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab.
HISTORY Point Baker was named in 1793 by Capt. George Vancouver, who named it after the Second Lieutenant on his
ship "The Discovery." The first floating fish packer came to Point Baker in 1919, and fish buying continued until
the 1930s when the Forest Service opened the area for homesites. During the 1920s and 1930s, up to 100
tents lined the harbor, occupied by hand-trollers. The first store was built in 1941, and a post office opened in
1942. In 1955, Point Baker was withdrawn from the Tongass National Forest. A floating dock was built by the
State in 1961; larger docks replaced it in 1968.

LOCATION Point Hope is located near the tip of Point Hope peninsula, a large gravel spit that forms the western-most
extension of the northwest Alaska coast, 330 miles southwest of Barrow.
ECONOMY Most full time positions in Point Hope are with the city and borough governments. Residents manufacture
whalebone masks, baleen baskets, ivory carvings and Eskimo clothing. Two residents hold a commercial
fishing permit. Seals, bowhead whales, beluga whales, caribou, polar bears, birds, fish and berries are utilized.
HISTORY Point Hope (Tikeraq) peninsula is one of the oldest continuously occupied Inupiat Eskimo areas in Alaska.
Several settlements have existed on the peninsula over the past 2,500 years, including Old and New Tigara,
Ipiutak, Jabbertown, and present Point Hope. The peninsula offers good access to marine mammals, and ice
conditions allow easy boat launchings into open leads early in the spring whaling season. The people were
traditionally aggressive and exercised dominance over an extensive area, from the Utukok to Kivalina Rivers,
and far inland. By 1848, commercial whaling activities brought an influx of Westerners, many of whom
employed Point Hope villagers. By the late 1880s, the whalers established shore-based whaling stations, such
as Jabbertown. These disappeared with the demise of whaling in the early 1900s. The City government was
incorporated in 1966. In the early 1970s the village moved to a new site just east of the old village because of
erosion and periodic storm-surge flooding. Most of the housing was moved on runners to the new site. New
houses were constructed by the Borough and individuals.

LOCATION Point Lay is located south of the Kokolik River mouth, about 300 miles southwest of Barrow.
ECONOMY Most year-round employment opportunities are with the borough government. Subsistence activities provide
food sources. Seals, walrus, beluga, caribou and fish are staples of the diet.
HISTORY Point Lay is one of the more recently established Inupiaq villages on the Arctic coast, and has historically been
occupied year round by a small group of one or two families. They were joined in 1929-30 by several more
families from Point Hope. The deeply indented shoreline has prevented effective bowhead whaling, but the
village participates in beluga whaling. In 1974, the village moved from the old site on a gravel barrier island
just offshore. The old village site is now used as a summer hunting camp. Some residents of Barrow and
Wainwright relocated to the village in the mid-1970s. Due to seasonal flooding from the Kokolik River, in the
late 1970s the village relocated again to a site near the Air Force Distance Early Warning station to the south.
Homes were relocated to the new townsite.

LOCATION Port Alexander is located on the south end of Baranof Island, 65 miles south of Sitka. It provides a safe harbor
during the gales and storms that frequent Chatham Strait.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing and subsistence uses of marine and forest resources constitute the economic base. 35
residents hold commercial fishing permits. The City, school and post office provide the only year-round cash
employment. Deer, salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab are favorite food sources. The city is encouraging more
lodging industries.
HISTORY In 1795, the British explorer Capt. George Vancouver, recorded his entry into the cove which is now called Port
Alexander. He was looking for Natives to trade with, but found only a deserted village. The site was named in
1849 by Capt. M.D. Tebenkov, Governor of the Russian American colonies. In 1913, salmon trollers
discovered the rich fishing grounds of the South Chatham Strait area, and fishermen began using the area as
their seasonal base. Two floating processors arrived soon after. By 1916, there was a fishing supply store, a
shore station owned by Northland Trading and Packing Company, and a bakery at Port Alexander. Families of
fishermen began coming to the community during the summers, and many of the first arrivals lived in tents.
Karl Hansen, a Norwegian immigrant, operated a fish-buying station, the Pacific Mild Cure Company. He also
sold supplies and fuel, and installed a wireless station. During the 1920s and 1930s, a year-round community
had evolved around the prosperous fishing fleet, and houses, stores, restaurants, a post office and a school
were constructed. A soda fountain, butcher shop, dairy, dance hall and hotel were built. During the summer,
over 1,000 fishing boats would anchor in the protected harbor. Beginning in 1938, fish stocks declined
dramatically and processing became uneconomical. The outbreak of World War II essentially collapsed the
town's economy; Karl Hansen left Port Alexander in the late 1940s, after 20 prosperous years and 10 years of
struggle, bankrupted. By 1950, 22 residents lived in the town year-round. In the 1970s, State land disposal
sales and upswings in salmon stocks enabled new families to build and settle in the community. A city was
incorporated in 1974, and seceded from the City and Borough of Sitka during that year.

LOCATION The community is located at the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula on the shore of Port Graham. It is
adjacent to Nanwalek, 7.5 miles southwest of Seldovia and 28 air miles from Homer.
ECONOMY A new $4.5 million fish cannery and hatchery opened on June 19, 1999. The cannery provides seasonal
employment for 70 Port Graham and Nanwalek residents. Red salmon fry are raised for area lakes, and pink
salmon are raised for the cannery. 12 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The earliest known settlers were Russians from the nearby trading post at Nanwalek. In 1850, the Russian-
American Co. established a coal mine at Port Graham, but it was not economical and lasted only a few years.
Port Graham became the site of a cannery and wharf, according to the U.S. Geological Survey in 1909. In
1911, the Fidalgo Island Packing Co. established a cannery, and Aleuts from Nanwalek moved to the
community. A post office operated between 1938 and 1961. The cannery burned in 1960. It was rebuilt in
1968 by Whitney/Fidalgo, and was sold to the village corporation in 1983. A pink salmon hatchery began
operations in 1991. In January 1998, the hatchery and salmon processing plant were destroyed by fire. The
hatchery and processing plant were rebuilt and re-opened in June 1999. The cannery continues to be the main
economic activity in the community, employing residents of Nanwalek as well.

LOCATION Port Heiden is 424 miles southwest of Anchorage, at the mouth of the Meshik River on the north side of the
Alaska Peninsula. It lies near the Aniakchak National Preserve and Monument.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing and government jobs provide the majority of cash income. 17 residents hold commercial
fishing permits. Subsistence harvests of salmon, other fish and marine mammals average 109 lbs. per
person. Game, birds, plants and berries are also an important part of villagers' diets.
HISTORY The old village of Meshik was located at the current site of Port Heiden. Influenza epidemics during the early
1900s forced residents to relocate to other villages. During World War II, Fort Morrow was built nearby, and
5,000 personnel were stationed at the base. The Fort was closed after the war. A school was established in
the early 1950s, which attracted people from surrounding villages. Port Heiden incorporated as a city in 1972.
The community recently relocated inland because storm waves had eroded much of the old townsite and
threatened to destroy community buildings.

LOCATION Port Lions is located in Settler Cove, on the north coast of Kodiak Island, 247 air miles southwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The economy of Port Lions is based primarily on commercial fishing, fish processing and tourism. 24 residents
hold commercial fishing permits. All of the residents depend to some extent on subsistence food sources such
as salmon, crab, halibut, shrimp, clams, duck, seal, deer and rabbit.
HISTORY The town was founded in 1964 by the displaced inhabitants of Afognak, which was destroyed by tsunami after
the Good Friday Earthquake. The community was named in honor of the Lions Club, for their support in
rebuilding and relocating the village. The City government was incorporated in 1966. For many years, Port
Lions was the site of the large Wakefield Cannery, on Peregrebni Point. The cannery burned down in March
1975. Soon thereafter, the village corporation purchased a 149-foot floating processor, the Smokwa. Although
sold in 1978, the Smokwa processed crab in the area intermittently between 1975 and 1980. A small sawmill,
located south of town, operated until 1976.

LOCATION Quinhagak is on the Kanektok River on the east shore of Kuskokwim Bay, less than a mile from the Bering Sea
coast. It lies 71 miles southwest of Bethel.
ECONOMY Most of the employment is with the school, government services or commercial fishing. Trapping, basket
weaving, skin sewing and ivory carving also provide income. Subsistence remains an important part of the
livelihood; seal and salmon are staples of the diet. 83 residents hold commercial fishing permits for salmon net
and herring roe fisheries. Coastal Villages Seafood LLC processes halibut and salmon in Quinhagak.
HISTORY The Yup'ik name is Kuinerraq, meaning "new river channel." Quinhagak is a long-established village whose
origin has been dated to 1,000 A.D. It was the first village on the lower Kuskokwim to have sustained contact
with whites. Gavril Sarichev reported the village on a map in 1826. After the purchase of Alaska in 1867, the
Alaska Commercial Co. sent annual supply ships to Quinhagak with goods for Kuskokwim River trading posts.
Supplies were lightered to shore from the ship, and stored in a building on Warehouse Creek. A Moravian
Mission was built in 1893. There were many non-Natives in the village at that time; most waiting for boats to go
upriver. In 1904 a mission store opened, followed by a post office in 1905 and a school in 1909. Between 1906
and 1909, over 2,000 reindeer were brought in to the Quinhagak area. They were managed for a time by the
Native-owned Kuskokwim Reindeer Company, but the herd had scattered by the 1950s. In 1915 the
Kuskokwim River was charted, so goods were barged directly upriver to Bethel. In 1928, the first electric plant
opened; the first mail plane arrived in 1934. The City was incorporated in 1975.

LOCATION Red Devil is located on both banks of the Kuskokwim River, at the mouth of Red Devil Creek. It lies 75 air
miles northeast of Aniak, 161 miles northeast of Bethel, and 250 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Since the closure of the mercury mine in 1971, employment opportunities have been limited. Income is
supplemented by subsistence activities, BLM firefighting, or work in the commercial fishing industry. Salmon,
bear, moose, caribou, rabbit, waterfowl and berries are harvested in season.
HISTORY The village was named after the Red Devil Mine, established in 1921 by Hans Halverson when numerous
mercury (quicksilver) deposits were discovered in the surrounding Kilbuck-Kuskokwim Mountains. By 1933,
the mine was producing substantial quantities of mercury. Although the mine changed ownership twice over
the years, it continued to operate until 1971. The mine produced some 2.7 million pounds of mercury during its
operation. A post office was established in 1957 and a state school opened in 1958.

LOCATION Ruby is located on the south bank of the Yukon River, in the Kilbuck-Kuskokwim Mountains. It is about 50 air
miles east of Galena and 230 air miles west of Fairbanks. Ruby lies adjacent to the Nowitna National Wildlife
Refuge.
ECONOMY The City, Tribe, school, tribal council, Dineega Corp. and clinic are the largest employers. Ruby also has a
number of small, family-operated businesses. BLM fire fighting, construction work, Native handicrafts and
trapping are part-time cash sources. Subsistence activities provide some food sources. Salmon, whitefish,
moose, bear, ptarmigan, waterfowl, and berries are utilized. Eight residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY Ruby's current residents are Koyukon Athabascans of the Nowitna-Koyukuk band, a nomadic group who
followed game with the changing seasons. There were 12 summer fish camps located on the Yukon River
between the Koyukuk River and the Nowitna River. Ruby developed as a supply point for gold prospectors. It
was named after the red-colored stones found on the riverbank which were thought by prospectors to be
rubies. A gold strike at Ruby Creek in 1907, and another at Long Creek in 1911, attracted hundreds of
prospectors to the area. At one time, over 1,000 white miners lived in Ruby and the nearby creeks.
Placerville, Poorman, Sulatna Crossing, Kokrines and Long Creek were some of the area's boom settlements.
A post office was established in 1912, and Ruby incorporated as a city in 1913. Initially, the City was governed
by miner's meetings, then later by Pioneer Igloo Number 5. After the gold rush, the population declined
rapidly. By 1939, there were only 139 residents. During World War II the mining operations were shut down
and most of the white residents left. After the war, the remaining residents of nearby Kokrines relocated to
Ruby, and the population began to increase. Ruby incorporated as a second class city in 1973. A clinic,
watering point and schools were constructed in the 1970s. During the 1980s, telephones and television
services were provided.

LOCATION Russian Mission is located on the west bank of the Yukon River in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, 25 miles
southeast of Marshall. It lies 70 air miles northeast of Bethel and 376 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Employment opportunities are limited to the school, local businesses and fishing. Eleven residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Seasonal employment includes BLM firefighting and construction. Some income
is earned from trapping, and subsistence activities are prevalent. Salmon, moose, black bear, porcupine,
rabbit and waterfowl are utilized.
HISTORY The first Russian American Company fur trading post on the Yukon River was established here in 1837. The
settlement was recorded as an Eskimo village called "Ikogmiut," meaning "people of the point," in 1842 by the
Russian explorer Zagoskin. The first Russian Orthodox mission in Interior Alaska was established here in 1857
by the Russian-Aleut priest Jacob Netzuetov. The mission was called "Pokrovskaya Mission," and the village
name was changed to Russian Mission in 1900. It was often confused with another village on the Kuskokwim
called "Russian Mission." This village was renamed Chuathbaluk. The City was incorporated in 1970.

LOCATION St. George is located on the northeast shore of St. George Island, the southern-most of five islands in the
Pribilofs. Over 210 species of birds nest on the cliffs of St. George Island. It lies 47 miles south of St. Paul
Island, 750 air miles west of Anchorage and 250 miles northwest of Unalaska.
ECONOMY The federally-controlled fur seal industry had dominated the economy of the Pribilofs until 1983; the two
communities remain closely tied. Most employment is in government positions and commercial fishing. 11
residents hold commercial fishing permits for halibut. The St. George Aquaculture Assoc. has begun salmon
and shellfish programs. Puffin Seafoods and Snopac Products operate in St. George. Villagers harvest 500
fur seals each year for subsistence purposes. Halibut, reindeer, marine invertebrates, plants and berries also
contribute to the local diet.
HISTORY St. George was discovered in 1786 by Gavrill Pribilof of the Russian Lebedov Lastochkin Company while
looking for the famed northern fur seal breeding grounds. The island was named Sveti Georgiy, and its larger
neighbor to the north was originally called St. Peter and St. Paul Island. The Russian American Company
enslaved Aleut hunters from Siberia, Unalaska and Atka and relocated them to St. George and St. Paul to
harvest the fur seal. Between 1870 and 1910, the U.S. Government leased the Pribilof Islands to private
companies, who provided housing, food and medical care to the Aleuts in exchange for work in the fur seal
plant. In 1910, the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries took control of the Islands, but poverty conditions ensued due to
over-harvesting of the seals. During World War II, residents were moved to Funter Bay in Southeast Alaska as
part of the areawide evacuation. Unlike other Aleutian residents, they were confined in an abandoned cannery
and mine camp at Funter Bay. In 1979, the Pribilof Aleuts received $8.5 million in partial compensation for the
unfair and unjust treatment they were subjected to under federal administration between 1870 and 1946. In
1983, the U.S. government ended the commercial seal harvest and withdrew from the Islands, providing $20
million to help develop and diversify the local economy - $8 million for St. George and $12 million for St. Paul.
The City was incorporated in 1983. Today, residents are working to develop commercial fisheries and tourism.

LOCATION St. Mary's is located on the north bank of the Andreafsky River, 5 miles from its confluence with the Yukon
River. It lies 450 air miles west-northwest of Anchorage. The City of St. Mary's encompasses the Yup'ik
villages of St. Mary's and Andreafsky.
ECONOMY The economy in St. Mary's seasonal. 65 residents hold commercial fishing permits. A cold storage facility is
available. Cash income is supplemented by subsistence activities and trapping. Salmon, moose, bear, and
waterfowl are harvested. There are two general stores, Alaska Commercial Co. and Yukon Traders. A new
regional Post Office was recently completed.
HISTORY In 1899, Andreafsky was established as a supply depot and winter headquarters for the Northern Commercial
Company's riverboat fleet. The village took its name from the Andrea family which settled on the River and
built a Russian Orthodox Church. In 1903, Jesuit missionaries set up a mission 90 miles downriver at
Akulurak" to educate and care for the children orphaned by a flu epidemic in 1900-01. Akulurak means "in
between place aptly describing the village, which was on an island in a slough connecting two arms of the
Yukon River. The mission school flourished, and by 1915, there were 70 full-time students. Over the years,
the slough surrounding Akulurak silted in severely. In 1948, the villagers decided to move to higher ground.
Materials from an abandoned hotel built during the gold rush were used to construct the new mission and
several village homes at the present site. In 1949, an unused 15' by 30' building and other building materials
from Galena Air Force Station were barged to Saint Mary's by Father Spills, a Jesuit priest. These materials,
along with a tractor borrowed from Holy Cross, were used to construct a school. During the 1950s, a number
of Yup'ik families moved into the Andreafsky area, only a short distance from the mission. Dormitories and a
large house for the Jesuits were built during the 1960s. In 1967, the area adjacent to the mission incorporated
as the City of St. Mary's, although Andreafsky chose to remain independent. In 1980, the residents of
Andreafsky voted for annexation into the City. In 1987, the Catholic Church closed the mission school.

LOCATION St. Michael is located on the east coast of St. Michael Island in Norton Sound. It lies 125 miles southeast of
Nome and 48 miles southwest of Unalakleet.
ECONOMY The St. Michael economy is based on subsistence food harvests supplemented by part-time wage earning.
Most cash positions are found in city government, the IRA council and village corporation, schools, and local
stores. Six residents hold commercial fishing permits, primarily for the herring fishery. The Stebbins/St.
Michael Reindeer Corral Project was completed in 1993 for a herd on Stuart Island. The reindeer are
essentially unmanaged.
HISTORY A fortified trading post called Redoubt St. Michael" was built by the Russian-American Company at this location
in 1833; it was the northernmost Russian settlement in Alaska. The Native village of "Tachik" stood to the
northeast. When the Russians left Alaska in 1867 several of the post's traders remained. "Fort St. Michael a
U.S. military post, was established in 1897. During the gold rush of 1897, it was a major gateway to the interior
via the Yukon River. As many as 10,000 persons were said to live in St. Michael during the gold rush. St.
Michael was also a popular trading post for Eskimos to trade their goods for Western supplies. Centralization
of many Yup'iks from the surrounding villages intensified after the measles epidemic of 1900 and the influenza
epidemic of 1918. The village remained an important trans-shipment point until the Alaska Railroad was built.
The City government was incorporated in 1969.

LOCATION St. Paul is located on a narrow peninsula on the southern tip of St. Paul Island, the largest of five islands in the
Pribilofs. It lies 47 miles north of St. George Island, 240 miles north of the Aleutian Islands, 300 miles west of
the Alaska mainland, and 750 air miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY The federally-controlled fur seal industry dominated the economy of the Pribilofs until 1985. St. Paul is a port
for the Central Bering Sea fishing fleet, and major harbor improvements have fueled economic growth. Trident
Seafoods and Icicle Seafoods process cod, crab, halibut and other seafoods in St. Paul. 30 residents hold
commercial fishing permits for halibut. Several offshore processors are serviced out of St. Paul. The
community is seeking funds to develop a halibut processing facility. Fur seal rookeries and more than 210
species of nesting sea birds attract almost 700 tourists annually. There is also a reindeer herd on the island
from a previous commercial venture. Residents subsist on halibut, fur seals (1,645 may be taken each year),
reindeer, marine invertebrates, plants and berries.
HISTORY The Pribilofs were discovered in 1786 by Russian fur traders. They landed first on St. George, and named this
larger island to the north St. Peter and St. Paul Island. In 1788, the Russian American Company enslaved and
relocated Aleuts from Siberia, Atka and Unalaska to the Pribilofs to hunt fur seals; their descendants live on
the two islands today. In 1870, the Alaska Commercial Company was awarded a 20-year sealing lease by the
U.S. Government, and provided housing, food and medical care to the Aleuts in exchange for seal harvesting.
In 1890, a second 20-year lease was awarded to the North American Commercial Company, however, the fur
seals had been severely over-harvested and poverty ensued. The 1910 Fur Seal Act ended private leasing on
the Islands and placed the community and fur seals under the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. Food and clothing
were scarce, social and racial segregation were practiced, and working conditions were poor. During World
War II, the Pribilof Aleuts were moved to Funter Bay on Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska as part of the
emergency evacuation of residents from the Bering Sea. Unlike other Aleutian residents, they were confined in
an abandoned cannery and mine camp at Funter Bay. In 1979, the Aleut Islanders received $8.5 million in
partial compensation for the unfair and unjust treatment they were subject to under federal administration
between 1870 and 1946. In 1983, Congress passed the Fur Seal Act Amendments, which ended government
control of the commercial seal harvest and the federal presence on the island. Responsibility for providing
community services and management of the fur seals was left to local entities. $20 million was provided to
help develop and diversify the Island economy - $12 million to St. Paul and $8 million to St. George.
Commercial harvesting on St. Paul ceased in 1985. Ownership of fur seal pelts is now prohibited except for
subsistence purposes.

Sand Point
POPULATION 992
LOCATION Sand Point is located on Humboldt Harbor on Popof Island, off the Alaska Peninsula, 570 air miles from
Anchorage.
ECONOMY Sand Point is home to the largest fishing fleet in the Aleutian Chain. The State provides regional services
through public safety, fish and game, and the court system. Trident Seafoods operates a major bottomfish,
pollock, salmon and fish meal plant, and provides fuel and other services. Peter Pan Seafoods owns a storage
and transfer station. 116 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Locals participate in subsistence
consumption of fish and caribou.
HISTORY Sand Point was founded in 1898 by a San Francisco fishing company as a trading post and cod fishing
station. Aleuts from surrounding villages and Scandinavian fishermen were the first residents of the
community. Sand Point served as a repair and supply center for gold mining during the early 1900s, but fish
processing became the dominant activity in the 1930s. The St. Nicholas Chapel, a Russian Orthodox church,
was built in 1933 and is now on the National Register of Historical Places. Aleutian Cold Storage built a halibut
plant in 1946. Today, it is home to the largest fishing fleet in the Aleutian Chain. The City government was
incorporated in 1966.

Savoonga
POPULATION 712
LOCATION Savoonga is located on the northern coast of St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea, 164 miles west of Nome.
It lies 39 miles southeast of Gambell.
ECONOMY The economy of Savoonga is largely based upon subsistence hunting of walrus, seal, fish and bowhead and
gray whale, with some cash income. Eight residents hold commercial fishing permits, and Norton Sound
Seafood Products operates in Savoonga. Reindeer harvests occur, but the herd is not managed. Fox are
trapped as a secondary source of income. Islanders are known for their quality ivory carvings. Some tourism
occurs by bird-watchers.
HISTORY St. Lawrence Island has been inhabited intermittently for the past 2,000 years by Yup'ik Eskimos. The island
had numerous villages with a total population of around 4,000 by the 19th century. A tragic famine occurred on
the island in 1878-80, severely reducing the population. In 1900 a herd of reindeer was moved to the island,
and by 1917 the herd had grown to over 10,000 animals. A reindeer camp was established in 1916 at the
present village site, where grazing lands were better, and the herd tended to remain. Good hunting and
trapping in the area attracted more residents. A post office was established in 1934. The City was
incorporated in 1969. When the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in 1971, Gambell
and Savoonga decided not to participate, and instead opted for title to the 1.136 million acres of land in the
former St. Lawrence Island Reserve. The island is jointly owned by Savoonga and Gambell.

LOCATION Saxman is located on the west side of Revillagigedo Island, 2 miles south of Ketchikan on the South Tongass
Highway.
ECONOMY Most employment is in Ketchikan. The City and Saxman Seaport provide some employment, and the Cape
Fox Corporation offers tourist- and timber-related employment. The Saxman Totem Park has become a major
attraction for Ketchikan area visitors. The Park includes a tribal house, a carving center, and a cultural hall for
traditional Tlingit dance exhibitions. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit. Deer, salmon and halibut
significantly contribute to residents' diets.
HISTORY In 1886, Tlingits from the old villages of Tongass and Cape Fox wanted a new site to construct a central BIA
school and Presbyterian Church. The village subsequently was named for Samuel Saxman, a Presbyterian
teacher who was lost at sea with a Cape Fox elder while searching for the new site. By 1894, the new village
site was chosen, ideally located on a protected harbor off the Tongass Narrows. A small sawmill was built and
construction of the school and houses began immediately. Fishing and cutting lumber for the growing towns of
Saxman and Ketchikan were the economic mainstays of the new village. By 1900, 142 people were living in
Saxman. In 1929, the community incorporated as a City. During the 1930s, many totem poles and ceremonial
artifacts, such as carvings and masks, were retrieved by the Civilian Conservation Corps from the abandoned
villages at Cape Fox, Tongass, Cat Island and Pennock Island. Totem poles were restored and relocated to
Saxman as part of a U.S. Forest Service program. A rail-barge terminal at the Saxman Seaport was
completed in 1967; it serves as the Ketchikan's major cargo container terminal.

POPULATION 828
LOCATION Selawik is located at the mouth of the Selawik River where it empties into Selawik Lake, about 90 miles east of
Kotzebue. It lies 670 miles northwest of Anchorage. The City is near the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge, a
key breeding and resting spot for migratory waterfowl.
ECONOMY Inhabitants of Selawik subsist mainly on whitefish, sheefish, caribou, moose, ducks, ptarmigan and berries.
Occasionally, bartered seal and beluga whale supplement the diet. The primary employers in the community
include the school, the City, the IRA, Maniilaq and three grocery stores. Handicrafts are made and sold locally
and at gift shops in larger cities. Seasonal work is also found outside of Selawik at the Red Dog Mine, BLM
firefighting or in lighterage operations. Three residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY Lt. L.A. Zagoskin of the Imperial Russian Navy first reported the village in the 1840s as "Chilivik." Ivan Petroff
counted 100 "Selawigamute" people in his 1880 census. Selawik is an Eskimo name for a species of fish.
Around 1908, the site had a small wooden schoolhouse and church. The village has continued to grow and has
expanded across the Selawik River onto three banks, linked by bridges. Selawik incorporated as a First Class
City in 1974, but in 1977, changed to a Second Class City government.

POPULATION 118
LOCATION Shageluk is located on the east bank of the Innoko River, approximately 20 miles east of Anvik and 34 miles
northeast of Holy Cross. The Innoko is a tributary of the Yukon River.
ECONOMY Employment is limited primarily to the city and the school. Summer construction projects provide seasonal
employment. Residents rely upon subsistence activities; several trap and garden. Salmon, moose, bear,
small game and waterfowl provide food sources. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit. A village
store was recently completed.
HISTORY Shageluk is an Ingalik Indian village first reported as Tie'goshshitno" in 1850 by Lt. Zagoskin of the Russian
Navy. In 1861 a historian for the Russian American Company reported six villages on the Innoko. These were
collectively called the "Chageluk settlements" during the 1880 Census. Shageluk became one of the
permanent communities in the area. A post office was established in 1924. Residents of Shageluk moved in
1966 from a flood-prone location to a higher site two miles southeast. The BIA constructed 20 homes and a
school at the new site. The City was incorporated in 1970."

POPULATION 214
LOCATION Shaktoolik is located on the east shore of Norton Sound. It lies 125 miles east of Nome and 33 miles north of
Unalakleet.
ECONOMY The Shaktoolik economy is based on subsistence, supplemented by part-time wage earnings. 33 residents
hold commercial fishing permits. Development of a new fish processing facility is a village priority. Reindeer
herding also provides income and meat. Fish, crab, moose, beluga whale, caribou, seal, rabbit, geese, cranes,
ducks, ptarmigan, berries, greens and roots are also primary food sources.
HISTORY Shaktoolik was the first and southernmost Malemiut settlement on Norton Sound, occupied as early as 1839.
Twelve miles northeast, on Cape Denbigh, is Iyatayet a site that is 6,000 to 8,000 years old. Reindeer herds
were managed in the Shaktoolik area around 1905. The village was originally located six miles up the
Shaktoolik River, and moved to the mouth of the River in 1933. This site was prone to severe storms and
winds, however, and the village relocated to its present, more sheltered location in 1967. The City was
incorporated in 1969.

POPULATION 609
LOCATION Shishmaref is located on Sarichef Island, in the Chukchi Sea, just north of Bering Strait. Shishmaref is five
miles from the mainland, 126 miles north of Nome and 100 miles southwest of Kotzebue. The village is
surrounded by the 2.6 million-acre Bering Land Bridge National Reserve. It is part of the Beringian National
Heritage Park, endorsed by Presidents Bush and Gorbachev in 1990.
ECONOMY The Shishmaref economy is based on subsistence supplemented by part-time wage earnings. Two residents
hold a commercial fishing permit. Year-round jobs are limited. Villagers rely on fish, walrus, seal, polar bear,
rabbit, and other subsistence foods. Two reindeer herds are managed from here. Reindeer skins are tanned
locally, and meat is available at the village store. The Friendship Center, a cultural center and carving facility,
was recently completed for local artisans.
HISTORY The original Eskimo name for the island is "Kigiktaq." In 1816, Lt. Otto Von Kotzebue named the inlet
"Shishmarev," after a member of his crew. Excavations at "Keekiktuk" by archaeologists around 1821 provided
evidence of Eskimo habitation from several centuries ago. Shishmaref has an excellent harbor, and around
1900 it became a supply center for gold mining activities to the south. The village was named after the Inlet
and a post office was established in 1901. The City government was incorporated in 1969. During October
1997, a severe storm eroded over 30 feet of the north shore, requiring 14 homes and the National Guard
Armory to be relocated. Five additional homes were relocated in 2002. Other storms have continued to erode
the shoreline, an average of 3 to 5 feet per year on the north shore. In July 2002, residents voted to relocate
the community.

Shungnak
POPULATION 269
LOCATION Shungnak is located on the west bank of the Kobuk River about 150 miles east of Kotzebue. The original
settlement was 10 miles further upstream at Kobuk.
ECONOMY Shungnak subsists mainly on fishing, seasonal employment, hunting and trapping. Subsistence food sources
include sheefish, whitefish, caribou, moose, ducks and berries. Most full-time employment is with the school
district, City, Maniilaq Association, two stores and a lodge. BLM provides seasonal employment in fire fighting,
hiring over 30 residents each year. Shungnak also has a strong arts and crafts industry; residents make and
sell finely-crafted baskets, masks, mukluks, parkas, hats and mittens. The community wants to develop a
visitor center, mini-mall, post office and clinic complex at Dahl Creek.
HISTORY Founded in 1899 as a supply point for mining activities in the Cosmos Hills, this Inupiat Eskimo village was
forced to move in the 1920s because of river erosion and flooding. The old site, 10 miles upstream, was
renamed Kobuk by those who remained there. The new village was named Kochuk but later reverted to
Shungnak. This name is derived from the Eskimo word Issingnak which means jade, a stone found extensively
throughout the surrounding hills. The City government was incorporated in 1967.

POPULATION 8644
LOCATION Sitka is located on the west coast of Baranof Island fronting the Pacific Ocean, on Sitka Sound. An extinct
volcano, Mount Edgecumbe, rises 3,200 feet above the community. It is 95 air miles southwest of Juneau, and
185 miles northwest of Ketchikan. Seattle, Washington lies 862 air miles to the south.
ECONOMY The economy is diversified with fishing, fish processing, tourism, government, transportation, retail, and health
care services. Cruise ships bring over 200,000 visitors annually. 586 residents hold commercial fishing
permits and fish processing provides seasonal employment. Sitka Sound Seafood and the Seafood Producers
Co-op are major employers. Regional health care services, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Coast Guard
also employ a number of residents.
HISTORY Sitka was originally inhabited by a major tribe of Tlingits, who called the village "Shee Atika." It was discovered
by the Russian Vitus Bering expedition in 1741, and the site became "New Archangel" in 1799. St. Michael's
Redoubt trading post and fort were built here by Alexander Baranof, manager of the Russian-American
company. Tlingits burned down the fort and looted the warehouse in 1802. In 1804, the Russians retaliated by
destroying the Tlingit Fort, in the Battle of Sitka. This was the last major stand by the Tlingits against the
Russians, and the Indians evacuated the area until about 1822. By 1808, Sitka was the capital of Russian
Alaska. Baranof was Governor from 1790 through 1818. During the mid-1800s, Sitka was the major port on the
north Pacific coast, with ships calling from many nations. Furs destined for European and Asian markets were
the main export, but salmon, lumber and ice were also exported to Hawaii, Mexico and California. After the
purchase of Alaska by the U.S. in 1867, it remained the capital of the Territory until 1906, when the seat of
government was moved to Juneau. A Presbyterian missionary, Sheldon Jackson, started a school, and in 1878
one of the first canneries in Alaska was built in Sitka. During the early 1900s, gold mines contributed to its
growth, and the City was incorporated in 1913. During World War II, the town was fortified and the U.S. Navy
built an air base on Japonski Island across the harbor, with 30,000 military personnel and over 7,000 civilians.
After the war, the BIA converted some of the buildings to be used as a boarding school for Alaska Natives, Mt.
Edgecumbe High School. The U.S. Coast Guard now maintains the air station and other facilities on the Island.
A large pulp mill began operations at Silver Bay in 1960. In 1971, the City and Borough governments were
unified. Sitka offers abundant resources and a diverse economy.

LOCATION Skagway is located 90 miles northeast of Juneau at the northernmost end of Lynn Canal, at the head of Taiya
Inlet. It lies 108 road miles south of Whitehorse, just west of the Canadian border at British Columbia.
ECONOMY The tourist industry flourishes in Skagway, as a port of call for cruise ships and a transfer site for rail and
interior bus tours. Approximately 1 million cruise ship passengers, RV traffic, and numerous State ferry
travelers visit Skagway each year. The Klondike Gold Rush Historical Park and White Pass and Yukon
Railroad are major attractions. An Economic Impact Study conducted by the City of Skagway in 1999 found
that 51% of the owners of visitor-related businesses are not year-round residents. Trans-shipment of lead/zinc
ore, fuel and freight occurs via the Port and Klondike Hwy. to and from Canada. Four residents hold
commercial fishing permits.

LOCATION Slana stretches along the Nabesna Road, which runs south of the Tok Cutoff at mile 63. It lies at the junction
of the Slana and Copper Rivers, 53 miles southwest of Tok.
ECONOMY A roadside lodge provides groceries, gas, liquor, an auto mechanic and RV parking. Other local businesses
include a general store, art gallery, canoe rental, bed & breakfast, snowmachine sales and solar panel sales.
A Park Ranger Station and state highway maintenance camp are located nearby. Subsistence activities
supplement income.
HISTORY Slana is an Indian village name, derived from the river's name. The Nabesna Mine opened in 1923, which
employed 60 people at its height. Over thirty different minerals were extracted from this site, although gold
was the primary source of profit. It operated sporadically through the late 1940s. Slana developed rapidly in
the 1980s when homesteads were offered for settlement by the federal government.

POPULATION 75
LOCATION Sleetmute is located on the east bank of the Kuskokwim River, 1.5 miles north of its junction with the Holitna
River. It lies 79 miles east of Aniak, 166 miles northeast of Bethel, and 243 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Most cash income in Sleetmute is derived seasonally from BLM firefighting, trapping, or from cannery work in
other communities. The school is the primary employer. One resident holds a commercial fishing permit.
Most foods are derived from subsistence fishing, hunting and gathering. Many residents travel to fish camps
during the summer. Salmon, moose, bear, porcupine, rabbit, waterfowl and berries are harvested in season.
HISTORY Sleetmute was founded by Ingalik Indians. The name means whetstone people referring to the slate deposits
found nearby. The village has also been known as Sikmiut, Steelmut and Steitmute. In the early 1830s the
Russians built a trading post at the Holitna River junction 1.5 miles away - but it was relocated far downriver in
1841. Frederick Bishop started a trading post at Sleetmute in 1906. A school opened in 1921, followed by a
post office in 1923. A Russian Orthodox Church was constructed in 1931, The Saints Peter & Paul Mission.

POPULATION 3983
LOCATION Soldotna is on the Kenai Peninsula, 150 highway miles south of Anchorage, at the junction of the Sterling and
Kenai Spur Highways. It lies 10 miles inland from Cook Inlet, and borders the Kenai River.
ECONOMY The area economy is highly diverse. Kenai and Soldotna residents are employed in oil industry services for
Cook Inlet oil and natural gas drilling and exploration. Oil refining operations occur north of Kenai in Nikiski.
Other important economic sectors include sport, subsistence and commercial fishing, fish processing,
government, timber and lumber, agriculture, transportation, construction, services and retail trade. 173 area
residents hold commercial fishing permits. It is the site of the Central Peninsula General Hospital, the Kenai
Peninsula Community College, the State Troopers' Headquarters, The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, and the
Borough and School District offices.
HISTORY The Peninsula has historically been the home to Kenaitze Indians, and was developed by non-Natives for its
rich resources, including fish, timber and oil. Soldotna was named for a nearby stream; it is a Russian word
meaning "soldier." Others believe it is derived from an Indian word meaning "stream fork." The first
homesteaders were World War II veterans, given a 90-day preference over non-veterans in selecting and filing
for property in 1947. That same year, the Sterling Highway right-of-way was constructed from Cooper Landing
to Kenai. Soldotna was the site for the bridge crossing the Kenai River. A post office opened in 1949, with
stores and a community center shortly thereafter. Soldotna continued to develop because of its strategic
location at the Sterling-Kenai Spur Highway junction. In 1957, oil was discovered in the Swanson River region,
bringing new growth and development. Soldotna was incorporated as a city in 1960.

LOCATION South Naknek is located on the south bank of the Naknek River on the Alaska Peninsula, 297 miles southwest
of Anchorage. It lies just west of the Katmai National Park and Preserve.
ECONOMY Commercial fishing and salmon processing are the mainstays of South Naknek's economy. 43 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Trident Seafoods operates in South Naknek. A second processing facility, owned
by Wards Cove Packing, closed in 2002. Most other employment is in public services. A few people trap, and
most residents depend on subsistence hunting and fishing. Salmon, trout, caribou, rabbit, porcupine and seal
are utilized.
HISTORY This area was first settled over 6,000 years ago, and was historically Sugpiaq Aleut territory. The Sugpiaqs
traveled between Katmai and the Naknek River, pursuing seasonal food sources. South Naknek was settled
permanently after the turn of the century as a result of salmon cannery development. Some villagers relocated
from New and Old Savonoski, near the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." This is one of the many villages
along the coast where Laplanders were brought in to herd reindeer. The herds were purchased in the 1930s by
the BIA for the local Native economy.."

LOCATION Stebbins is located on the northwest coast of St. Michael Island, on Norton Sound. It lies 8 miles north of St.
Michael and 120 miles southeast of Nome.
ECONOMY The Stebbins economy is based on subsistence harvests supplemented by part-time wage earnings. The City
and schools provide the only full-time positions. The commercial herring fishery has become increasingly
important, including fishing on the lower Yukon. 18 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Residents
subsist upon fish, seal, walrus, reindeer and beluga whale. Gardens provide vegetables during the summer
months. The Stebbins/St. Michael Reindeer Corral Project was completed in 1993 for a herd on Stuart Island.
The reindeer are essentially unmanaged.
HISTORY Redoubt St. Michael was built at nearby St. Michael by the Russian-American Company in 1833. The Eskimo
village of Atroik" or "Atowak" was recorded north of here in 1898 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The
Yup'ik name for the village is "Tapraq and the name Stebbins was first recorded in 1900. The first U.S.
Census occurred in 1950, indicating 80 Yup'ik Eskimos. The City government was incorporated in 1969.

Stevens Village
POPULATION 71
LOCATION Stevens Village is located on the north bank of the Yukon River, 17 miles upstream of the Dalton Highway
bridge crossing, and 90 air miles northwest of Fairbanks.
ECONOMY Stevens Village is heavily dependent upon subsistence activities. Salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, waterfowl
and small game are the primary sources of meat. Gardening and berry-picking are also popular. There is
some seasonal and part-time employment at the school, clinic, village council, stores, BLM fire-fighting or
construction work. Three residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The original settlement, called Dinyea (meaning "mouth of the canyon"), was founded by three Athabascan
Indian brothers from the Koyukon region: Old Jacob, Gochonayeeya, and Old Steven. The village was named
for Old Steven when he was elected Chief in 1902. During the gold rush, residents cut wood for mining
operations and to fuel steamboats plying the Yukon River. A trading post was established in the early 1900s.
The first school opened in 1907. A post office began operations in 1936, and scheduled air service was
initiated in 1939.

LOCATION Stony River is located on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River, 2 miles north of its junction with the Stony
River. The village is 100 miles east of Aniak, 185 miles northeast of Bethel, and 225 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY There are few income opportunities in Stony River; BLM firefighting can provide seasonal income. Salmon,
moose, caribou, bear, porcupine, waterfowl and berries are harvested.
HISTORY Also known as Moose Village and Moose Creek, it began as a trading post and riverboat landing to supply
mining operations to the north. The first trading post opened in 1930, and a post office was established in
1935. Area Natives used these facilities, but it wasn't until the early 1960s that families established year-round
residency and a school was constructed. Approximately 75 people lived in the village in the 1960s, 70s and
80s.

LOCATION Takotna is located in Interior Alaska on the north bank of the Takotna River in a broad scenic river valley, 17 air
miles west of McGrath in the Kilbuck-Kuskokwim Mountains.
ECONOMY Takotna has a combined cash and subsistence economy. Employment is through the school district, post
office, clinic, local businesses and seasonal construction. Most residents are involved in subsistence
activities. Moose and salmon are the primary meat sources. Many residents garden during the summer.
HISTORY Takotna has been known as Berry Landing, Portage City, Takotna City, Takotna Station, and Tocotna. In
1908, merchants in Bethel hired Arthur Berry to bring supplies up the Takotna River. The village was founded
at the farthest point on the river Berry's small sternwheeler was able to reach. By 1912, the community had
several stores which supplied miners. Gold discoveries in the upper Innoko Region enabled the town to
prosper. By 1919, there were several commercial companies, roadhouses, a post office, and about 50
houses. In 1921, the Alaska Road Commission improved the Takotna-Ophir road, and an airfield was
constructed. In 1923, a radio station began broadcasting in Takotna, and the town had its own newspaper,
The Kusko Times. Low waters at times precluded the arrival of steamboats, so the Takotna-Sterling Landing
road was constructed to the Kuskokwim River in 1930. During the 30s, however, McGrath became the more
dominant supply center, and the ACC store closed. In 1949, construction was begun on nearby Tatalina Air
Force Station. It was the site of a White Alice communications system, but operations were phased out during
the 1980s.

LOCATION Located at the junction of the Talkeetna and Susitna Rivers, it lies 115 miles north of Anchorage at mile 226.7
of the Alaska Railroad. The paved Talkeetna Spur Road runs 14 miles east off the George Parks Highway, at
Milepost 98.7.
ECONOMY As the take-off point for fishing and flightseeing trips, and a staging area for Mount McKinley climbing
expeditions, Talkeetna provides air taxis, helicopters, outfitters, and related services. Numerous air taxis
provide transport to Kahiltna Glacier Base Camp. All climbers must register for Mount McKinley and Mount
Foraker (Talkeetna Ranger Station phone is 907-733-2231.) Ten residents hold commercial fishing permits.
HISTORY The Talkeetna and Chulitna Rivers join the Susitna River at Talkeetna, a Dena'ina (Tanaina) Indian word
meaning "river of plenty." Talkeetna was settled as a mining town and Alaska Commercial Co. trading post in
1896. A gold rush to the Susitna River brought prospectors to the area, and by 1910, Talkeetna was a riverboat
steamer station, supplying miners and trappers in the Cache Creek, Iron Creek, and Broad Creek districts. In
1915, Talkeetna was chosen as the headquarters for the Alaska Engineering Commission, who built the Alaska
Railroad, and the community population peaked near 1,000. World War I and completion of the railroad in 1919
dramatically decreased the population. Talkeetna has since developed as an aviation and supply base for
Mount McKinley expeditions. Several of its old log buildings are now historical landmarks, and Talkeetna was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places in April 1993. State land disposals and homestead programs
helped the community grow.

LOCATION Tanacross is located on the south bank of the Tanana River, 12 miles northwest of Tok, at MP 1324 of the
Alaska Highway.
ECONOMY Many residents are able to work during the summer as emergency fire fighters for the BLM. Some people
engage in trapping or in making Native handicrafts to sell. Nearly every family depends on subsistence
activities for food. Whitefish, moose, porcupine, rabbit, ptarmigan, ducks and geese are utilized. Caribou may
be hunted by lottery permit. Some travel to Copper River for salmon each summer. Employment at the
washeteria and clinic is provided by the tribe. They have formed two profit making corporations, Orh Htaad
Global Services and Dihthaad Construction, to employ members of their tribe.
HISTORY Residents are Tanah, or Tinneh, Athabascan Indians. Most villagers relocated from Mansfield Village,
Kechumstuk and Last Tetlin in 1912 when Bishop Rowe established St. Timothy's Episcopal Mission. The
village was originally located on the north side of the Tanana River, and was called "Tanana Crossing." It is
located where the Eagle Trail crossed the Tanana River. A trading post opened near the mission in 1912, and
the St. Timothy's post office opened in 1920. More Natives moved from Mansfield when a formal school
opened in 1932, although classes had been held at the mission. The name was eventually shortened to
Tanacross. In the mid-1930s, an airfield was built across the river from the village. In 1941, the village gave the
military permission to use its airfield as an emergency deployment post during World War II. The airfield was
paved in 1942, and temporary camps were established. Thousands of troops were deployed through
Tanacross airfield during the War. People of the village served as volunteer scouts and backup support for the
army. After the war, the airfield was closed. In 1972, the village relocated from the north bank of the Tanana
River to the south bank, due to water contamination. In 1979, the old village site burned when a grass fire
spread out of control.

LOCATION Tanana is located in Interior Alaska about two miles west of the junction of the Tanana and Yukon Rivers, 130
air miles west of Fairbanks.
ECONOMY Two-thirds of the full-time jobs in Tanana are with the city, school district or native council. There are a number
of positions with local businesses and services. BLM firefighting, trapping, construction work and commercial
fishing are important seasonal cash sources. 17 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence
foods include salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, ptarmigan, waterfowl and berries.
HISTORY Due to its location at the confluence of the Tanana and Yukon Rivers, Tanana was a traditional trading
settlement for Koyukon and Tanana Athabascans long before European contact. In 1880, Harper's Station, an
Alaska Commercial Company Trading Post, was established 13 miles downriver from the present site. In
1881, Church of England missionaries from Canada built a mission 8 miles downriver. Between 1887 and
1900, an elaborate school and hospital complex, the St. James Mission, was constructed. It became an
important source of services and social change along both rivers. In 1898, Fort Gibbon was founded at
Tanana to maintain the telegraph line between Fairbanks and Nome. A post office was also established, and
several other trading posts developed around the turn of the century. Gold seekers left the Yukon after 1906.
Ft. Gibbon was abandoned in 1923. The St. James Hospital was transferred to the BIA administration in the
1920s. During World War II, an air base was established near Tanana as a refueling stop for the lend-lease
aircraft program. New hospital facilities were built in 1949; and during the 1950s, hospital administration was
transferred to the U.S. Public Health Service. The City of Tanana was incorporated in 1961. The hospital
complex was a major employer during this period, employing 54 persons with a payroll of $1.6 million, but was
closed in 1982. During 1982, Tanana incorporated as a First Class City in order to assume control of the local
school system. The hospital facilities were remodeled for use as a health clinic, counseling center, tribal office,
and Regional Elders's Residence.

LOCATION Tatitlek is located on the northeast shore of Tatitlek Narrows, on the Alaska Mainland in Prince William Sound.
It lies southwest of Valdez by sea near Bligh Island, and 30 air miles northwest of Cordova.
ECONOMY Fish processing and oyster farming provide some employment in Tatitlek. Three residents hold commercial
fishing permits. Subsistence activities provide the majority of food items. A coho salmon hatchery at Boulder
Bay is nearing completion for subsistence use. A fish and game processing facility is under construction. A
small community store has recently opened.
HISTORY It is an Alutiiq village first reported in the 1880 U.S. Census as Tatikhlek with a population of 73. The present
spelling was published in 1910 by the U.S. Geological Survey, who wrote that the village originally stood at the
head of Gladhaugh Bay, but was moved to its present site in the shadow of Copper Mountain around 1900. A
post office was established in 1946. Many residents of Chenega moved to Tatitlek following its destruction by
tsunami after the 1964 Good Friday earthquake. The dominant feature in the village is the blue-domed
Russian Orthodox Church.

LOCATION Tazlina is located 5 miles south of Glennallen on the Richardson Highway, at mile 110.5. It is comprised of
several small residential subdivisions and a business district. Copperville, Aspen Valley, Tazlina Terrace and
Copper Valley School Road are all part of this area.
ECONOMY Some residents depend on subsistence fishing and hunting. Local businesses include a combined grocery,
liquor, hardware, gas and sporting goods store, a wholesale bread distributor, a freight service, and an RV
park. The Prince William Sound Community College, Division of Forestry, State Highway Maintenance station,
Division of State Parks, and Division of Communications are located in the area.
HISTORY The village reportedly was a fishing camp of the Ahtna Indian tribes who historically moved up and down the
Copper River and its tributaries. Tazlina is Athabascan for swift water." By 1900 a permanent village had been
established on the north and south banks off the Tazlina River near its confluence with the Copper River.
During the pipeline era Tazlina developed around the old Copper Valley School built to board students from all
over the state. It closed in 1971 when local high schools were constructed in the remote areas of the state and
boarding schools were discontinued."

Teller
POPULATION 256
LOCATION Teller is located on a spit between Port Clarence and Grantley Harbor, 72 miles northwest of Nome, on the
Seward Peninsula.
ECONOMY The Teller economy is based on subsistence activities supplemented by part-time wage earnings. Fish, seal,
moose, beluga whale and reindeer are the primary meat sources. There is a herd of over 1,000 reindeer in the
area, and the annual round-up provides meat and a cash product which is sold mainly on the Seward
Peninsula. Over one-third of households produce crafts or artwork for sale, and some residents trap fox.
HISTORY The Eskimo fishing camp called "Nook" was reported 20 miles south of Teller in 1827. A Western Union
Telegraph expedition wintered at the present site in 1866 and 1867; it was then called "Libbyville" or "Libby
Station." The Teller Reindeer Station was operated by the U.S. Government at a nearby site from 1892 to
1900. The station was named in 1892 by Sheldon Jackson for U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Interior Henry
Moore Teller. Teller Mission, a Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Mission, was built in 1900 across the harbor at
the current site of Brevig Mission. It was renamed Brevig Mission in 1903, after the Reverend T.L. Brevig.
Present-day Teller was also established in 1900 after the Bluestone Placer Mine discovery 15 miles to the
south. During these boom years, Teller had a population of about 5,000 and was a major regional trading
center, attracting Natives from Diomede, Wales, Mary's Igloo and King Island. In May 1926, bad weather
caused the dirigible "Norge" to detour to Teller on its first flight over the North Pole from Norway to Nome. A
City was formed in 1963.

LOCATION Tenakee Springs is located on the east side of Chichagof Island, on the north shore of Tenakee Inlet. It lies 45
miles southwest of Juneau, and 50 miles northeast of Sitka.
ECONOMY Tenakee Springs has long been considered a retirement community, though commercial fishing is an important
source of income. 18 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Tourism is becoming increasingly important.
The City and store are the only local employers.
HISTORY The word Tenakee is from the Tlingit word "tinaghu," meaning "Coppery Shield Bay." This refers to three
copper shields, highly prized by the Tlingits, that were lost in a storm. Early prospectors and fishermen came to
the site to wait out the winters and enjoy the natural hot springs in Tenakee. Around 1895, a large tub and
building were constructed to provide a warm bathing place for the increasing number of visitors. In 1899, Ed
Snyder established Snyder's Mercantile, which still operates today. A post office opened in 1903. Originally
called Tenakee, the name was altered to Tenakee Springs in 1928. Improvements to the hot springs facilities
were made in 1915 and 1929; the existing bathhouse was constructed in 1940. Three canneries operated in
the area between 1916 and 1974. A logging camp operated for a time at Corner Bay. The City incorporated in
1971.

LOCATION Tetlin is located along the Tetlin River, between Tetlin Lake and the Tanana River, 20 miles southeast of Tok.
It lies in the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. The village is connected by road to the Alaska Highway.
ECONOMY The school, tribe, clinic, store and post office provide the only employment. Many residents engage in trapping
or making handicrafts for sale. Fire fighting for BLM employs members of the community in the summer.
Nearly all families participate in subsistence activities throughout the year. Whitefish, moose, ducks, geese,
spruce hens, rabbits, berries and roots are harvested.
HISTORY The semi-nomadic Athabascan Indians have historically lived in this area, moving with the seasons between
several hunting and fishing camps. In 1885, Lt. H.T. Allen found small groups of people living in Tetlin and
Last Tetlin, to the south. The residents of Last Tetlin had made numerous trips to trading posts on the Yukon
River. In 1912, villagers from Tetlin would trade at the Tanana Crossing Trading Post. During the Chisana
gold stampede in 1913, a trading post was established across the river from Tetlin. When two trading posts
were opened in the village during the 1920s by John Hajdukovich and W.H. Newton, residents from Last Tetlin
relocated to Tetlin. A school was constructed in 1929, and a post office was opened in 1932. The 786,000-
acre Tetlin Indian Reserve was established in 1930. An airstrip was constructed in 1946. When the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in 1971, the reserve was revoked. Tetlin opted for surface
and subsurface title to the 743,000 acres of land in the former Reserve.

POPULATION 467
LOCATION Thorne Bay is 47 air miles northwest of Ketchikan on the east coast of Prince of Wales Island. On the Island
road system, it lies 60 miles from Hollis and 36 miles east of the Klawock Junction.
ECONOMY Employment is primarily in small sawmills and U.S. Forest Service management of the Tongass, with some
commercial fishing, tourism and government employment. Thorne Bay is one of the log transfer sites on the
Island. To supplement incomes, residents fish and trap. Deer, salmon, halibut, shrimp and crab are popular
food sources. 22 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Locals prefer to purchase goods from Craig and
Ketchikan.
HISTORY The Bay was named after Frank Manley Thorn, superintendent of the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey from 1885
through 1889. The name was misspelled when published. The first major settlement was built around the
logging operation of Wes Davidson. Thorne Bay developed as a result of a long-term timber sales contract
between the U.S. Forest Service and the Ketchikan Pulp Company. In 1960, a floating logging camp was built
in Thorne Bay. In 1962, Ketchikan Pulp moved its main logging camp from Hollis to Thorne Bay. A shop,
barge terminal, log sort yard and camp were built to replace facilities at Hollis. Roads were then constructed to
connect Thorne Bay with Hollis, Craig and Klawock. During this time, it was considered the largest logging
camp in North America. Thorne Bay evolved from a company-owned logging camp to an incorporated city by
1982, due in part to the land selection program provided for in the Alaska Statehood Act.

LOCATION Togiak is located at the head of Togiak Bay, 67 miles west of Dillingham. It lies in Togiak National Wildlife
Refuge, and is the gateway to Walrus Island Game Sanctuary.
ECONOMY Togiak's economic base is primarily commercial salmon, herring, and herring roe-on-kelp fisheries. 244
residents hold commercial fishing permits; fishermen use flat-bottom boats for the shallow waters of Togiak
Bay. There is one on-shore fish processor and several floating processing facilities near Togiak. The entire
community depends heavily on subsistence activities. Salmon, herring, seal, sea lion, whale and walrus are
among the species harvested. A few residents trap.
HISTORY In 1880, "Old Togiak," or "Togiagamute," was located across the Bay, and had a population of 276. Heavy
winter snowfalls made wood-gathering difficult at Old Togiak, so gradually people settled at a new site on the
opposite shore, where the task was easier. Many residents of the Yukon-Kuskokwim region migrated south to
the Togiak area after the devastating influenza epidemic in 1918-19. A school was established in an old church
in 1950. A school building and a National Guard Armory were constructed in 1959. Togiak was flooded in 1964,
and many fish racks and stores of gas, fuel oil and stove oil were destroyed. Three or four households left
Togiak after the flood and developed the village of Twin Hills upriver. The City government was incorporated in
1969.

Tok
POPULATION 1353
LOCATION Tok is located at the junction of the Alaska Highway and the Tok Cutoff to the Glenn Highway, at 1,635'
elevation, 200 miles southeast of Fairbanks. It is called the Gateway to Alaska as it is the first major
community upon entering Alaska, 93 miles from the Canadian border.
ECONOMY Tok is the transportation, business, service and government center for the Upper Tanana region. Employment
and business revenues peak in the summer months, with the rush of RV travelers on the Alaska Highway.
Four residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence and recreational activities are prevalent. Moose,
bear, rabbit, grouse, and ptarmigan are taken. Dahl sheep and caribou are hunted outside of the region, but
only through lottery permits. Salmon are obtained from the Copper River to the south. Berry-picking and
gardening are also popular activities.
HISTORY There are several versions of how Tok obtained its name. The nearby "Tokai River" was first reported in 1887
by Lt. Allen. "Tok River" was recorded in 1901 by the USGS. Tok began in 1942 as an Alaska Road
Commission camp. So much money was spent in the camp's construction and maintenance that it earned the
name "Million Dollar Camp" by those working on the highway. In 1944 a branch of the Northern Commercial
Company was opened, and in 1946 Tok was established as a Presidential Townsite. With the completion of the
Alcan Highway in 1946, a post office and a roadhouse were built. In 1947 the first school was opened, and in
1958 a larger school was built to accommodate the many newcomers. The U.S. Customs Office was located in
Tok between 1947 and 1971, when it was moved to Alcan, at the border. Between 1954 and 1979, a U.S. Army
fuel pipeline operated from Haines to Fairbanks, with a pump station in Tok. The pump station's facilities were
purchased as area headquarters for the Bureau of Land Management. The U.S. Coast Guard constructed a
LORAN (Long Range Aid to Navigation) station in 1976. Four 700' towers, located 6 miles east of Tok junction,
transmit radio navigation signals for air and marine traffic in the Gulf of Alaska. In July of 1990, Tok faced
extinction when a lightning-caused forest fire jumped two rivers and the Alaska Highway, putting both residents
and buildings in peril. The town was evacuated and even the efforts of over a thousand firefighters could not
stop the fire. At the last minute a "miracle wind" (so labeled by Tok's residents) came up, diverting the fire just
short of the first building. The fire continued to burn the remainder of the summer, eventually burning more than
100,000 acres. Evidence of the burn can be seen on both sides of the highway just east of Tok.

POPULATION 422
LOCATION Tuntutuliak is on the Qinaq River, approximately 3 miles from its confluence with the Kuskokwim River, about
40 miles from the Bering Sea coast. It lies 40 miles southwest of Bethel and 440 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Employment by the school, services, commercial fishing and fish processing provides most of the income.
Trapping, basket weaving, skin-sewn products and other Native handicrafts also provide cash. Subsistence
foods comprise a majority of the diet, and about one-half of families go to fish camp each summer. 51
residents hold commercial fishing permits for salmon net and herring roe fisheries.
HISTORY The village's Yup'ik name is Tuntutuliaq, meaning "place of many reindeer." It was originally located four miles
to the east and called Qinaq, as noted in 1879 by Edward Nelson who found 175 residents at that time. In
1908, a Moravian missionary visited the village and found 130 people living there. In 1909 a BIA school was
built, and the first teacher was well liked in the community. Due to lack of confidence in the subsequent
teachers, the school was closed in 1917 and the building moved to the village of Eek. It is thought that some
Qinaq villagers may have moved to Eek so their children could attend school. In 1923 the first Moravian Chapel
was built, with lumber and other support from Eek. In the late 1920s a trading post and store was opened by
John Johnson. The community moved to its present site on higher ground and was renamed Tuntutuliak in
1945. The BIA built a school in 1957. A post office opened in 1960.

LOCATION Tununak is located in a small bay on the northeast coast of Nelson Island, 115 miles northwest of Bethel and
519 miles northwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Employment is primarily with the school district, village corporation, stores and commercial fishing. Trapping
and Native crafts also generate cash for many families, and subsistence activities are an important contributor
to villagers' diets. Seal meat, seal oil and herring are the staples of the diet. Beluga whale and walrus are also
hunted. Residents participate in a lottery to hunt musk-ox on Nelson or Nunivak Islands. 53 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Coastal Villages Seafood, Inc. processes halibut and salmon in Tununak.
HISTORY Nelson Island was named after Edward Nelson in 1878, a Smithsonian naturalist who noted 6 people, including
1 non-Native trader, living in Tununak. In 1889 the Jesuits opened a small chapel and school. The villagers
were difficult to convert due to the migratory nature of the traditional culture, and because the shamans were
still quite powerful. The mission closed in 1892. In 1925 a government school was built, and a Northern
Commercial Co. store was opened in 1929. From 1934 to 1962, a missionary named Father Deshout lived on
Nelson Island. His long-standing relationship and work with the people in the area had a great influence. The
1950s brought great changes to the Islanders lifestyle, through their involvement with the Territorial Guard,
work in fish canneries, high schools, and health care treatment for tuberculosis. For many, this was their first
exposure outside the community. By the 1970s, snowmobiles were replacing dog sled teams, and the last
qasgiq (men's community houses) was abandoned. The City was incorporated in 1975, but it was dissolved on
Feb. 28, 1997 in favor of traditional council governance.

Twin Hills
POPULATION 81
LOCATION Twin Hills is located near the mouth of the Twin Hills River, a tributary of the Togiak River, 386 miles southwest
of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Steady employment is limited to those working for the Village Council and Post Office. 15 residents hold
commercial fishing permits, primarily for salmon, herring, herring roe on kelp, or sac roe. Fishermen use
special flat-bottomed boats for the shallow waters of Togiak Bay. Togiak Fisheries and other cash buyers
provide a market for fishermen. The community depends heavily on subsistence activities for various food
sources. Seal, sea lion, walrus, whale, salmon, clams, geese, and ducks are harvested. An exchange
relationship exists between Twin Hills, Togiak and Manokotak. Seal oil is exchanged for blackfish. Handicrafts
also supplement incomes.
HISTORY The village was established in 1965 by families who moved from Togiak to avoid the recurrent flooding there.
Some residents migrated from Quinhagak on Kuskokwim Bay. The people have strong cultural ties to the
Yukon-Kuskokwim region, because many of their ancestors migrated to Togiak following the 1918-19 influenza
epidemic. School was first conducted in the church during 1967-68. A school building was constructed in
1972, but it burned in 1976. A new school was built in 1978. A post office was established around 1977,
although there have been some interruptions of service.

POPULATION 181
LOCATION Tyonek lies on a bluff on the northwest shore of Cook Inlet, 43 miles southwest of Anchorage. Tyonek is not
located directly on the Kenai Peninsula.
ECONOMY Subsistence activities provide salmon, moose, beluga whale and waterfowl. 20 residents hold commercial
fishing permits. Tyonek offers recreational fishing and hunting guide services. Some residents trap during
winter. The North Foreland Port Facility at Tyonek is the preferred site for export of Beluga coal.
HISTORY It is a Dena'ina (Tanaina) Athabascan Indian village. Various settlements in this area include Old Tyonek
Creek, Robert Creek, Timber Camp, Beluga and Moquawkie Indian Reservation. Captain Cook's journal
provides a description of the Upper Cook Inlet Athabascans in 1778, who possessed iron knives and glass
beads. He concluded that the Natives were trading indirectly with the Russians. Russian trading settlements
were established at "Tuiunuk" and Iliamna prior to the 1790s, but were destroyed due to dissension between
the Natives and the Russians. Between 1836 and 1840, half of the region's Indians died from a smallpox
epidemic. The Alaska Commercial Company had a major outpost in Tyonek by 1875. In 1880, "Tyonok" station
and village, believed to be two separate communities, had a total of 117 residents, including 109 Athabascans,
6 "creoles" and 2 whites. After gold was discovered at Resurrection Creek in the 1880s, Tyonek became a
major disembarkment point for goods and people. A saltery was established in 1896 at the mouth of the
Chuitna River north of Tyonek. In 1915, the Tyonek Reservation (also known as Moquawkie Indian
Reservation) was established. The devastating influenza epidemic of 1918-19 left few survivors among the
Athabascans. The village was moved to its present location atop a bluff when the old site near Tyonek Timber
flooded in the early 1930s. The population declined when Anchorage was founded. In 1965, the federal court
ruled that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) had no right to lease Tyonek Indian land for oil development
without permission of the Indians themselves. The tribe subsequently sold rights to drill for oil and gas beneath
the reservation to a group of oil companies for $12.9 million. The reservation status was revoked with the
passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971. Beluga, a site near Tyonek, is owned by
Chugach Electric Association and provides some electricity for Anchorage.

HISTORY Yup'ik Eskimos and Aleuts jointly occupied the area historically. This Aleut village was first recorded in 1880
as Oogashik." In the 1890s the Red Salmon Company developed a cannery and Ugashik became one of the
largest villages in the region. The 1919 flu epidemic decimated the population. The cannery has continued to
operate under various owners. The Briggs Way Cannery opened in 1963. The village has a small year-round
population."

LOCATION Unalakleet is located on Norton Sound at the mouth of the Unalakleet River, 148 miles southeast of Nome and
395 miles northwest of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Both commercial fishing for herring, herring roe and subsistence activities are major components of
Unalakleet's economy. 109 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Norton Sound Econ. Dev. Council
operates a fish processing plant. Government and school positions are relatively numerous. Tourism is
becoming increasingly important; there is world-class silver fishing in the area.
HISTORY Archaeologists have dated house remnants along the beach ridge from 200 B.C. to 300 A.D. The name
Unalakleet means "from the southern side." Unalakleet has long been a major trade center as the terminus for
the Kaltag Portage, an important winter travel route connecting to the Yukon River. Indians on the upper river
were considered "professional" traders who had a monopoly on the Indian-Eskimo trade across the Kaltag
Portage. The Russian-American Company built a post here in the 1830s. In 1898, reindeer herders from
Lapland were brought to Unalakleet to establish sound herding practices. In 1901, the Army Signal Corps built
over 605 miles of telegraph line from St. Michael to Unalakleet, over the Portage to Kaltag and Fort Gibbon.
The City was incorporated in 1974.

POPULATION 3678
LOCATION Unalaska overlooks Iliuliuk Bay and Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Chain. It lies 800 air
miles from Anchorage, a two- to three-hour flight, and 1,700 miles northwest of Seattle. The name Dutch
Harbor is often applied to the portion of the City on Amaknak Island, which is connected to Unalaska Island by
bridge. Dutch Harbor is actually within the boundaries of the City of Unalaska.
ECONOMY Unalaska's economy is based on commercial fishing, fish processing, and fleet services such as fuel, repairs
and maintenance, trade and transportation. The community enjoys a strategic position as the center of a rich
fishing area, and for transshipment of cargo between Pacific Rim trading partners. The Great Circle shipping
route from major west coast ports to the Pacific Rim passes within 50 miles of Unalaska, and Dutch Harbor
provides a natural protection for fishing vessels. Onshore and offshore processors provide some local
employment. However, non-resident workers are usually brought in during the peak season. 50 residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Westward Seafoods, Unisea, Alyeska, Icicle, Trident and Royal Aleutian Seafoods
process the commercial catch. Unalaska has a budding tourist industry and a new Convention and Visitors
Bureau.
HISTORY More than 3,000 Unangan (known since the Russian era as "Aleuts") lived in 24 settlements on Unalaska and
Amaknak Islands in 1759. Unalaska became a Russian trading port for the fur seal industry in 1768. In 1787,
many hunters and their families were enslaved and relocated by the Russian American Company to the Pribilof
Islands to work in the fur seal harvest. In 1825, the Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Ascension of Christ
was constructed. The founding priest, Ivan Veniaminov, composed the first Aleut writing system with local
assistance, and translated scripture into Aleut. Since Aleuts were not forced to give up their language or culture
by the Russian Orthodox priests, the Church remained strong in the community. By this time, however,
between 1830 and 1840, only 200 to 400 Aleuts lived in Unalaska. In 1880, the Methodist Church opened a
school, clinic and the Jesse Lee Home for orphans. The City of Unalaska was incorporated in March 1942. On
June 3, 1942, Unalaska was attacked by the Japanese. Almost all of the Aleuts on the Island were interned to
Southeast Alaska for the duration of World War II. The Russian Orthodox Church was nearly destroyed by
evacuating U.S. Army troops. The Church is the oldest Russian Orthodox cruciform-style church in North
America, and is currently undergoing restoration.

LOCATION Upper Kalskag (Kalskag) is located on the north bank of the Kuskokwim River, 2 miles upriver from Lower
Kalskag. It lies 30 miles west of Aniak, 99 miles northeast of Bethel and 348 miles west of Anchorage.
ECONOMY Most cash income in Upper Kalskag is derived from employment at the school, City or clinic. Some trap or
work as BLM firefighters. Three residents hold commercial fishing permits. Subsistence activities provide
most food sources. Salmon, moose, rabbit, and waterfowl are the primary resources. A few residents
maintain gardens.
HISTORY In 1898, Nicholas Kameroff, Sr. and Olinga (Avakumoff) Kameroff and their eight children first settled the
community. The village was a fish camp known as "Kessiglik." Around 1900, residents of "Kalthagamute"
began to move to the village. In 1930, the BIA established a government school, and by 1932, residents of
neighboring communities relocated to Kalskag. In 1940, Paul Kameroff, Sr. established a general store, post
office, coffee shop and a barging company. At this time, the community owned and worked a herd of 2,100
reindeer. During the 1930s, Russian Orthodox practitioners in the village relocated to establish Lower Kalskag,
three miles to the southwest. The villagers who remained were primarily Roman Catholic practitioners. The City
was incorporated in 1975.

LOCATION Valdez is located on the north shore of Port Valdez, a deep water fjord in Prince William Sound. It lies 305
road miles east of Anchorage, and 364 road miles south of Fairbanks. It is the southern terminus of the Trans-
Alaska oil pipeline.
ECONOMY Valdez has one of the highest municipal tax bases in Alaska as the southern terminus and off-loading point of
oil extracted from Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope. Four of the top ten employers in Valdez are directly
connected to the oil terminus. Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. employs nearly 300 persons. Valdez is a major
seaport, with a $48 million cargo and container facility. City, state, and federal agencies combined provide
significant employment. 49 residents hold commercial fishing permits. Three fish processing plants operate in
Valdez, including Peter Pan and Seahawk Seafoods. Valdez Fisheries Dev. Assoc. will open its year-round
processing facility in October 2003. 7 cruise ships will dock in Valdez in 2004. Valdez is a Foreign Free Trade
Zone.
HISTORY The Port of Valdez was named in 1790 by Don Salvador Fidalgo for the celebrated Spanish naval officer
Antonio Valdes y Basan. Due to its excellent ice-free port, a town developed in 1898 as a debarkation point for
men seeking a route to the Eagle Mining District and the Klondike gold fields. Valdez soon became the supply
center of its own gold mining region, and incorporated as a City in 1901. Fort Liscum was established in 1900,
and a sled and wagon road was constructed to Fort Egbert in Eagle by the U.S. Army. The Alaska Road
Commission further developed the road for automobile travel to Fairbanks; it was completed by the early
1920s. A slide of unstable submerged land during the 1964 earthquake destroyed the original City waterfront,
killing several residents. The community was rebuilt on a more stable bedrock foundation 4 miles to the west.
During the 1970s, construction of the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline terminal and other cargo transportation facilities
brought rapid growth to Valdez. In March 1989, it was the center for the massive oil-spill cleanup after the
Exxon Valdez" disaster. In a few short days the population of the town tripled."

POPULATION 181
LOCATION Venetie is located on the north side of the Chandalar River, 45 miles northwest of Fort Yukon.
ECONOMY Venetie is heavily dependent on subsistence. Salmon, whitefish, moose, caribou, bear, waterfowl and small
game provide meat sources. Most employment is through the school, clinic, post office, store and village
council. The National Guard has used Venetie as a cold weather survival training school. BLM employs
residents as fire fighters seasonally. The village is interested in developing a small mill to process local lumber
for housing and other projects, and in tourism promotion. Cabins manufactured from local logs could house
visitors, developing arts and crafts activities, cultural activities and a museum.
HISTORY Known to early explorers as Old Robert's Village or Chandalar Village, Venetie was founded in 1895 by a man
named Old Robert who chose Venetie because of its plentiful fish and game. In 1899, the U.S. Geological
Survey noted about 50 Natives living on the Chandalar, some in small settlements of cabins about 7 miles
above the mouth of the River, but most in the mountainous part of the country beyond the Yukon Flats. He
noted that the Natives spent only the coldest winter months in cabins and the remainder of the year traveling
for various food sources. In 1905, Venetie was a settlement of a half a dozen cabins and 25 or 30 residents.
The gold rush to the Chandalar region in 1906-07 brought a large number of miners. A mining camp of nearly
40 cabins and attendant services was established at Caro upriver from Venetie, and another store was located
near the mouth of the East Fork. By 1910, the Chandalar was largely played out and Caro almost completely
abandoned. In 1943, the Venetie Indian Reservation was established, due to the combined efforts of the
residents of Venetie, Arctic Village, Christian Village and Robert's Fish Camp, who worked together to protect
their land for subsistence use. At about this same time, a school was established at Venetie, encouraging
additional families to settle in the village. Eventually an airstrip, post office and store were built. During the
1950s and 60s, the use of seasonal camps declined, but the advent of the snowmachine enabled Venetie
residents to renew use of areas which had traditionally been occupied seasonally. When the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) was passed in 1971, Venetie and Arctic Village opted for title to the 1.8 million
acres of land in the former Reservation, which they own as tenants in common through the Native Village of
Venetie Tribal Government.

LOCATION Wainwright is located on the Chukchi Sea coast, 3 miles northeast of the Kuk River estuary.
ECONOMY Economic opportunities in Wainwright are influenced by its proximity to Barrow and the fact that it is one of the
older, more established villages. Most of the year-round positions are in borough services. Sale of local
Eskimo arts and crafts supplement income. Bowhead and beluga whale, seal, walrus, caribou, polar bear,
birds and fish are harvested.
HISTORY In 1826, the Wainwright Lagoon was named by Capt. F.W. Beechey for his officer, Lt. John Wainwright. A map
of 1853 indicates the name of the village as "Olrona." It's Inupiat name was "Olgoonik." The region around
Wainwright was traditionally well-populated, though the present village was not established until 1904, when
the Alaska Native Service built a school here and instituted medical and other services. The site was reportedly
chosen by the captain of the ship delivering school construction materials, because sea-ice conditions were
favorable for landing. A post office was established in 1916, and a city was formed in 1962. Coal was mined at
several nearby sites for village use, the closest about 7 miles away. Today, though, most houses are heated by
fuel oil. A U.S. Air Force Distance Early Warning (DEW) Station was constructed nearby.

LOCATION Wales is located on Cape Prince of Wales, at the western tip of the Seward Peninsula, 111 miles northwest of
Nome.
ECONOMY The economy of Wales is based on subsistence hunting and fishing, trapping, Native arts and crafts, and some
mining. A private reindeer herd is managed out of Wales and local residents are employed to assist in the
harvest. Whales, walrus, polar bear, moose, salmon, and other fish are utilized.
HISTORY A burial mound of the "Birnirk" culture (500 A.D. to 900 A.D.) was discovered near Wales and is now a national
landmark. In 1827 the Russian Navy reported the Eskimo villages of "Eidamoo" near the coast and "King-a-
ghe" further inland. In 1890, the American Missionary Association established a mission here, and in 1894 a
reindeer station was organized. A post office was established in 1902. Wales became a major whaling center
due to its location along migratory routes, and it was the region's largest and most prosperous village, with
more than 500 residents. The influenza epidemic in 1918-19 claimed the lives of many of Wales' finest
whalers. The City government was incorporated in 1964.

POPULATION 7028
LOCATION Wasilla is located midway between the Matanuska and Susitna Valleys, on the George Parks Highway. It lies
between Wasilla and Lucille Lakes, 43 miles north of Anchorage, about one hour's drive.
ECONOMY Approximately 30% of the Wasilla workforce commutes to Anchorage. The local economy is diverse, and
residents are employed in a variety of government, retail, and professional service positions. Tourism,
agriculture, wood products, steel and concrete products are part of the economy. 120 area residents hold
commercial fishing permits. Wasilla is the home of the Iditarod Trail Committee and Iron Dog Race.
HISTORY Wasilla was named after the respected local Dena'ina Indian, Chief Wasilla (also known as Chief Vasili). In the
Dena'ina Athabascan Indian dialect, Wasilla" is said to mean "breath of air." Other sources claim the Chief
derived his name from the Russian language and that "Vasili" is a variation of the Russian name "William."
The townsite was established in 1917 at the intersection of the Carle Wagon Road (now Wasilla-Fishhook
Road) and the newly-constructed Alaska Railroad. It was a supply base for gold and coal mining in the region
through World War II. The Matanuska-Susitna valley was settled by many Colony homesteaders in the 1930s.
Construction of the George Parks Highway through Wasilla in the early 1970s provided direct access to
Anchorage. This enabled families to live in Wasilla and commute to Anchorage for employment. The City was
incorporated in 1974."

LOCATION Whale Pass lies on the northeast coast of Prince of Wales Island. It is north of Coffman Cove on Forest
Development Road (FDR) 25, about 64 road miles north of Klawock.
ECONOMY Logging operations, related services, and the school provide the only steady employment. Subsistence
activities and public assistance payments supplement income.
HISTORY The area has been the site of logging camps continuously since 1964. In the early 1980s, the last camp
moved out, and the area was permanently settled as the result of a State land disposal sale. The logging road
was completed in 1981, and private phones were installed in 1992.

POPULATION 215
LOCATION White Mountain is located on the west bank of the Fish River, near the head of Golovin Lagoon, on the Seward
Peninsula. It is 63 miles east of Nome.
ECONOMY The entire population depends on subsistence hunting and fishing, and most spend the entire summer at fish
camps. Salmon, other fish, beluga whale, seal, moose, reindeer, caribou, and brown bear are utilized. The
school, native store, post office, city, IRA and airline agents provide the only local employment. Construction
outside of town and firefighting provide seasonal employment. Four residents hold commercial fishing
permits. Ivory and bone carvings contribute some cash. A reindeer farm is run by a local resident.
HISTORY The Eskimo fish camp of Nutchirviq" was located here. The bountiful resources of both the Fish and Niukluk
Rivers supported the area's Native populations. White Mountain grew after the influx of prospectors during the
gold rush of 1900. The first structure was a warehouse built by the miner Charles Lane to store supplies for his
claim in the Council District. It was the site of a government-subsidized orphanage which became an industrial
school in 1926. A post office was opened in 1932. The City government was incorporated in 1969."

LOCATION Willow is located in the Mat-Su Borough, between mile 60 and 80.7 of the George Parks Highway, north of
Houston. Its western boundary is the Susitna River.
ECONOMY Many Willow residents are self-employed in a variety of businesses, including lodging, guiding and charter
services, and retail stores. There are two saw mills and one prefabricated wood building manufacturer. Some
residents are employed in the Palmer, Wasilla or Anchorage. 18 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
Capitol Speedway attracts stockcar racing enthusiasts from the entire state.
HISTORY Dena'ina Athabascan Indians have occupied this area historically, living in semi-permanent villages. The
community got its start when gold was discovered on Willow Creek in 1897. Supplies and equipment were
brought in by boat to Knik. From there, a 26-mile summer trail went northwest, up Cottonwood Creek, and
across Bald Mountain to Willow Creek. The winter sled trail went north, crossing the present line of the Alaska
Railroad at Houston, and up the west end of Bald Mountain for 30 miles. This trail, dubbed the Double Ender
Sled Trail is still being used by skiers, hunters, backpackers and snowmobile enthusiasts. The sleds then
followed a trail along Willow Creek in an easterly direction, now Hatcher Pass Road. The Talkeetna Trail also
passed through Willow and was used by dog teams and pack horses. Cabins to accommodate freighters and
mail carriers were located at Nancy Lake, Willow and other points north. This route was the forerunner of the
Parks Highway. During construction of the Alaska Railroad, surveyors, construction crews, homesteaders and
other settlers came to Willow. A Railroad station house was constructed in 1920. During World War II, a radar
warning station and airfield were built. The Trail's End Lodge was built in 1947; it subsequently became a post
office in 1948. By 1954, Willow Creek was Alaska's largest gold mining district, with a total production
approaching 18 million dollars. Land disposals, homestead subdivisions, and completion of the George Parks
Highway in 1972 fueled growth in the area. In 1976, Alaskans selected Willow for their new State capital site.
However, funding to enable the capital move was defeated in the November 1982 election.

LOCATION The City of Wrangell is located on the northwest tip of Wrangell Island, 155 miles south of Juneau and 89 miles
northwest of Ketchikan. It is near the mouth of the Stikine River, an historic trade route to the Canadian
Interior.
ECONOMY Wrangell's economy is based on commercial fishing and timber from the Tongass National Forest. Fishing and
fish processing are an important segment of the economy. 250 residents hold commercial fishing permits.
Dive fisheries are also under development -- 60 divers harvest sea urchins, sea cucumbers and geoducks.
Although Wrangell offers a deep-water port, they cater to the smaller cruise ships. Stikine River sportfishing
attracts independent travelers. The Alaska Pulp Corp. sawmill was sold to Silver Bay Logging and reopened in
April 1998 with 33 employees.
HISTORY Wrangell is one of the oldest non-Native settlements in Alaska. In 1811, the Russians began fur trading with
area Tlingits, and built a stockade named Redoubt Saint Dionysius in 1834. The Island was named for
Ferdinand Von Wrangel, manager of the Russian-American Co. around 1830. The British of Hudson's Bay Co.
leased the fort in 1840, and named the stockade Fort Stikine. A large Stikine Indian village known as
Kotzlitzna was located 13 miles south of the fort. The Tlingits claimed their own ancient trade rights to the
Stikine River, and protested when the Hudson Bay Company began to use their trade routes. But two
epidemics of smallpox, in 1836 and 1840, reduced the Tlingit population by half. The fort was abandoned in
1849 when furs were depleted. The fort remained under the British flag until Alaska's purchase by the U.S. in
1867. In 1868, a U.S. military post called Fort Wrangell was established, named for the Island. The
community continued to grow as an outfitter for gold prospectors in 1861, 1874-77, and in 1897. Riotous
activity filled gambling halls, dance halls, and the streets. Thousands of miners traveled up the Stikine River
into the Cassiar District of British Columbia during 1874, and again to the Klondike in 1897. Glacier Packing
Company began operating in Wrangell in 1889. The Wilson & Sylvester Sawmill provided packing boxes for
canneries, and lumber for construction. The City was incorporated in 1903. By 1916, fishing and forest
products had become the primary industries -- four canneries and a cold storage plant were constructed by the
late 1920s. In the 1930s, cold packing of crab and shrimp was occurring. Abundant spruce and hemlock
resources have helped to expand the lumber and wood products industry. The Alaska Pulp Corporation
sawmill, Wrangell's largest employer, closed in late 1994.

LOCATION Yakutat is isolated among the lowlands along the Gulf of Alaska, 225 miles northwest of Juneau and 220 miles
southeast of Cordova. It is at the mouth of Yakutat Bay, one of the few refuges for vessels along this stretch of
coast. The Hubbard and Malaspina Glaciers are nearby.
ECONOMY Yakutat's economy is dependent on fishing, fish processing and government. 162 residents hold commercial
fishing permits. North Pacific Processors is the major private employer. Recreational fishing opportunities,
both saltwater and freshwater fishing in the Situk River, are world-class. Most residents depend on
subsistence hunting and fishing. Salmon, trout, shellfish, deer, moose, bear and goats are harvested.
HISTORY Yakutat has a diverse cultural history. The original settlers are believed to have been Eyak-speaking people
from the Copper River area who were conquered by the Tlingits. Yakutat means "the place where the canoes
rest." In the 18th and 19th centuries, English, French, Spanish and Russian explorers came to the region. Fur
traders were attracted to the region's sea otters. The Russian-American Co. built a fort in Yakutat in 1805 to
harvest sea otter pelts. Because the Russians would not allow local Tlingits access to their traditional fisheries,
a Tlingit war party attacked and destroyed the post. In 1884, the Alaska Commercial Co. opened a store in
Yakutat. By 1886, the black sand beaches in the area were being mined for gold. In 1889 the Swedish Free
Mission Church had opened a school and sawmill in the area. A cannery, sawmill, store and railroad were
constructed beginning in 1903 by the Stimson Lumber Co. Most residents moved to the current site of Yakutat
to be closer to this cannery, which operated through 1970. During World War II, a large aviation garrison and
paved runway were constructed. Troops were withdrawn after the war, but the runway is still in use. The City of
Yakutat was formed in 1948, but in 1992, the City was dissolved and a Borough was organized for the region.
