Dillingham Alaska

Dillingham is located at the extreme north end of Nushagak Bay at the confluence of the Wood and Nushagak Rivers. Dillingham and the surrounding area was initially inhabited by Eskimos and Athabascans and later became a trade center for the Russians.

Dillingham was named for U.S. Senator Paul Dillingham, who toured Alaska extensively with his Senate subcommittee in 1903.

Today, Dillingham has a mixed population of non-Natives, Eskimos, and Aleuts. Commercial fishing is the primary activity in Dillingham. Many residents depend on subsistence activities - trapping, fishing, and hunting.

Comments: At times traffic seems busy. Some buddies and I stopped in here not long ago. Watch out for stormy weather in the PM. Prices of homes have soared since our previous trip. This town sure has more than enough rude people everywhere. For some fine exhibits, make a point of visiting Sam Fox Museum. You won't be disappointed.
