Cordova

Cordova has served as a fishing port on Alaska’s Prince William Sound since the early 20th century. Established in 1906 as the southern terminus of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway, it was built to move copper ore from the Kennicott mines. Today, the community sits between the Sound and the wetlands of the Copper River Delta, an important stopover habitat for migratory birds. Commercial salmon fishing remains central to local life, particularly the celebrated Copper River fishery. With no road link to the wider North American highway network, Cordova retains a distinctly maritime rhythm.
