Yup'ik Eskimos and Athabascan Indians have
jointly occupied the area for the past 6,000 years. The late 1800s first brought
an influx of non-Native fishermen and cannery operations. A flu epidemic in 1918
was tragic to the Native population. Reindeer were introduced to assist the
survivors, but the experiment eventually failed. During World War II Fort Morrow
was built at Port Heiden.
This Alaskan Peninsula borough was incorporated
in April 1989 as a home-rule borough with a manager form of government. A
seven-member Assembly acts as the legislative body for the Borough. Lake
and Peninsula Borough is predominately rural and contains seventeen communities,
six of which are incorporated as second-class cities. Village or Tribal Councils
govern the remaining eleven communities.
