Petersburg

Built around the protected waters of Wrangell Narrows, Petersburg grew into a major commercial fishing community in southeastern Alaska. The town occupies the northern end of Mitkof Island, where the narrow, tidal passage links Frederick Sound with the channels of the Alexander Archipelago. Forested islands, cold coastal waters and the vast Tongass National Forest define its setting. Petersburg’s Norwegian roots remain central to local identity, celebrated in the annual Little Norway Festival and reflected in its maritime traditions.
