Wrangell

Zimovia Strait defines the setting of Wrangell — at the northern end of Wrangell Island, tides, fishing vessels and ferry traffic shape the town’s waterfront rhythm. Forested shores nearby belong to the Tongass National Forest, while the Stikine River reaches the sea in this corner of southeast Alaska. Petroglyph Beach State Historic Site preserves ancient carvings in coastal bedrock, providing a direct link to the area’s long Indigenous presence. Wrangell’s colonial-era history includes Fort Stikine, established by the Russian-American Company in 1834 and later operated by the Hudson’s Bay Company.
