Craig combines the practical rhythm of a fishing town with the remoteness of an island community in a way that reflects its position on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Set beside Klawock Inlet and surrounded by the Tongass National Forest, it is one of the principal settlements on an island marked by dense temperate rainforest, sheltered waterways and a road network rather than mainland highways. Commercial fishing has long shaped local life: Craig began in the early 20th century as a fish-salting operation founded by Craig Miller. Its harbour remains central to the town, serving fishing vessels and travellers moving through island communities.
