Kodiak: Island City on the Edge of the Pacific
Kodiak sits on the northeastern tip of Kodiak Island, the second-largest island in the United States after the Big Island of Hawaii. The city proper holds about 6,253 residents, though the broader Kodiak Island Borough adds several thousand more across scattered villages and remote homesteads. Russian fur traders established the first permanent European settlement here in 1792, making Kodiak the first capital of Russian America before the seat moved to Sitka in 1808.
The commercial fishing fleet based in Kodiak ranks among the largest in the country by volume and value. Pollock, salmon, halibut, and crab move through the processing plants that line the waterfront. U.S. Coast Guard Base Kodiak is the largest Coast Guard installation in the country, providing search-and-rescue coverage across the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea. Between the fishing industry and the military presence, the local economy has remained more stable than many rural Alaskan communities.
Kodiak brown bears, a subspecies that can weigh over 1,500 pounds, draw wildlife photographers and hunters to the island every year. The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge covers roughly two-thirds of the island. Escort websites operating in the Kodiak area are catalogued by Escortservice.com, which reviews these sites independently.
