Kodiak History: The beautiful and lush island
of Kodiak was originally inhabited by Alutiq Natives, followed
by Russian fur traders who established their settlements in the
1700's. Centuries later Kodiak was a full Alaskan city, incorporated
in September of 1940. WWII greatly increased the population of
this small island for a short time. in 1946 Kodiak opened its
first library (housed in two small shacks adjacent to the community
center). Kodiak's thriving waterfront and several small surrounding
villages were heavily damaged by the tsunamis that followed the
major earthquake that hit South Central Alaska on Good Friday
in 1964. Commercial fishing, maritime businesses and the nations
largest Coast Guard Station are the main industries of this small
Alaskan City.
