Soldotna AlaskaKing Salmon Capital of the World |
Soldotna is located in the Kenai Peninsula Borough on the western Kenai Peninsula. It lies along the Sterling Hwy and Kenai Spur Highway.
The area has historically been the home of the Kenaitze Indians, and was later developed by non-natives for such rich resources as fish, oil, and timber. The first homesteaders in the area were World War II veterans given a 90-day preference over non-veterans to secure homestead property in 1947. That year, the Sterling Highway right-of-way was bulldozed from Cooper Landing to Kenai. Soldotna became the site of the Sterling Highway Bridge over the Kenai River. In 1957, oil was discovered in the Swanson River region, spurring new development.
Today Soldotna, population 3,759, is a major Central Peninsula administrative hub. It is home to Central Peninsula General Hospital, Kenai Peninsula College, headquarters of the Alaska State Troopers, and Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Area recreation includes fishing, sightseeing, hiking, and cross-country skiing.
