Dillingham is the economic and regional hub of Bristol Bay, located approximately 370 air miles southwest of Anchorage. Its location is at the head of Nushagak Bay and at the mouth of the Wood and Nushagak Rivers. The community population is 61% Alaska Native or part-Native, and the Curyung Native Village Council is the local federally-recognized tribe. Dillingham is the transportation, economic, government and public services center for western Bristol Bay. During spring and summer, the population doubles due to the fishing industry.
