geography

history

Akutan was founded in 1878 when several families of the people of the Aleutian Islands settled in that place. In the same year the Russian Orthodox Church of St. Alexander Nevsky Chapel was built, as many Aleutians belong to the Orthodox denomination due to Alaska's Russian past . The current building was only built in 1918 and replaced the older building. The Western Fur and Trading Co. built a fur warehouse and trading post. In 1912, the Pacific Whaling Company built a whaling processing plant that operated until 1939.
