Established by Russian fur trader Alexander Baranov in 1784, Kodiak was once the
headquarters of the Russian Empire in the North Pacific, a history that is recalled
at the city's impressive onion-domed Holy
Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church. Kodiak is situated on the northeastern
tip of Kodiak Island, often referred to as the Emerald Isle because of its lush
green landscape during the summer months. As one of the oldest communities in
Alaska, Kodiak developed into a
prosperous commercial fishing port, and fishing remains a popular activity for
locals and visitors alike. For a fascinating journey through Kodiak's past, visit
the Baranov
Museum, which illuminates the Russian colonial period and the early American
era through an extensive collection of artifacts, photographs and documents. The
Kodiak
Alutiiq Dancers are another cultural attraction not to be missed, as they
present traditional dances that express spiritual and cultural values dating back
thousands of years.
