Coastal Culture and Heritage

Humans have been traveling and adventuring in this region for thousands of years. Archeologists have discovered human-occupied sites dating as far back as the year 1200 and a fur trade post was set up by the Russian-American Company in Resurrection Bay in 1793. In 1903, the Seward area began to develop as it became the starting point of the Alaska Railroad. After more than a decade of proposals, the national park was finally established in 1980.
