King Cove was founded in 1911 when Pacific American Fisheries built a salmon cannery in the area. The City is located on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, 625 miles southwest of Anchorage. The Agdaagux Tribe of King Cove is a federally-recognized tribe in the community. Fishing is important to the City’s economy, and King Cove’s fish processing facility, owned and operated by Peter Pan Seafoods, is one of the largest in Alaska.
