Kodiak Island is located on the eastern side of the Gulf of Alaska. It lies at approximately 57° 47' N Latitude, 152° 24' W Longitude . The area encompasses 6,463 sq. miles of land and 5,383 sq. miles of water.
Kodiak Island has been inhabited since 8,000 B.C. Spanish explorer Juan Pérez visited this island in 1774 followed by Captain Cook in 1778. By 1792 Russian fur trappers had established a permanent settlement on the island.. Sea otter pelts were the primary incentive for Russian exploration at that time. Kodiak was the first capital of Russian Alaska, which moved to Sitka when Alaska was purchased by the U.S. in 1867
