Welcome to Kodiak Island Alaska
Kodiak Island is a large island on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska, separated from the Alaska mainland by the Shelikof Strait.
The largest island in the Kodiak Archipelago, Kodiak Island is the second largest island in the United States and the 80th largest island in the world.
Kodiak Island is the namesake for Kodiak Seamount, which lies off the coast at the Aleutian Trench. The largest community on the island is the city of Kodiak, Alaska.
Kodiak Island is mountainous and heavily forested in the north and east, but fairly treeless on the south.
The island has many deep, ice-free bays that provide sheltered anchorages for boats. The southwestern two-thirds of the island,
like much of the Kodiak Archipelago, is part of Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.

Kodiak is the ancestral land of the Koniaga, an Alutiiq nation of Alaska Natives. The original inhabitants subsisted by hunting, fishing, farming, and gathering.
The first outsiders to settle on the island were Russian explorers under Grigory Shelikhov, who founded a Russian settlement on Kodiak Island
at Three Saints Bay near the present-day village of Old Harbor in 1784. Following the 1867 Alaska purchase the island became part of the United States;
Americans settled there and engaged in hunting and fox farming.
