Unalaska is a
small city on Unalaska Island in the
Aleutian Islands, off the coast of the U.S.
state of Alaska. As of the 2000 census, the
population of the city is 4,283. Almost all
of the community's port facilities are on
neighboring Amaknak Island, better known as
Dutch Harbor. Dutch Harbor lies within the
city limits of Unalaska and is connected to
Unalaska by a bridge.
The Aleut or Unangan have lived on Unalaska
Island for thousands of years.
The Russian fur trade reached Unalaska when
Stepan Glotov and his crew arrived on August
1, 1759.
Unalaska was named after Unalaska Island.
The name "Unalaska" is likely an
Americanization of the Russian name
"Ounalashka". The regional native
corporation has adopted this moniker, and is
known as the "Ounalashka Corporation". Dutch
Harbor was so named by the Russians because
they believed that a Dutch vessel was the
first European ship to enter the harbor.
