HISTORY OF KETCHIK AN HISTORY OF KETCHIK AN
For hundreds of years native Alaskans fished the waters of what is now Ketchikan, Alaska. They set up
camp at the mouth of what the Tlingit Indians called, Kich-xaan: meaning “wings of the eagle.” Fishing
scouts from Canada and America heard legendary tales of the Salmon catches and made their way
here in 1885.
The city of Ketchikan formally began in 1885 when Mike Martin bought 160 acres from Chief Kyan. By
the mid-1890s, young Alaskan entrepreneurs had built a wharf in deep water. In the late 1890s, nearby
gold and copper discoveries briefly brought activity to Ketchikan as a mining supply center. As the
fishing industry grew the first cannery opened its doors in 1886 near the mouth of Ketchikan Creek.
Four more were built by 1912. Now, over a century later, Ketchikan is known as the “Salmon Capital of
the World.”
In 1900, the first head count found 800 residents in Alaska’s “First City” north of the Puget Sound. By
1936, seven canneries were in operation, producing 1.5 million cases of salmon a year. As the Salmon
industry flourished, the need for lumber spawned a new boom industry in the area. The Ketchikan
Spruce Mills opened in 1903, which operated for over 70 years. Spruce was in high demand during
World War II, and Ketchikan became a supply center for area logging. The vibrant growth of the
community, one dominated by male laborers, gave Ketchikan a measure of infamy during the first half
of the 20th century for an infamous red-light district known as Creek Street, with brothels aligned on
either side of the creek.
With a current population of almost 15,000 residents, Ketchikan is Alaska’s fifth largest city. Today
Ketchikan remains a Salmon industry leader but also enjoys a thriving tourism economy. Ketchikan is
home to the world’s largest collection of standing totem poles. Great restaurants, quaint galleries and
ample shopping make Ketchikan one of the most visited and enjoyed cruise ports in North America.
INTERESTING FACTS INTERESTING FACTS
1. For hundreds of years native Alaskans fished the waters at the mouth of what the Tlingit Indians
called, Kich-xaan: meaning “wings of the eagle.” That is how Ketchikan got its name.
2. The city of Ketchikan began in 1885 when Mike Martin bought 160 acres from Chief Kyan. The first
cannery opened in 1886 near the mouth of Ketchikan Creek and four more were built by 1912.
3. Ketchikan is famous for its salmon, its lumber and its totem poles. But in the 1950s, because of the
vibrant growth of a community dominated by male laborers, Ketchikan became famous for its
legendary red-light district known as Creek Street, with brothels aligned on either side of the creek.
4. The Salmon Falls Resort was originally built as a homestead in 1980. During construction the
home was lost to a fire caused by a lightning strike. The entire structure was lost. The home was
sold to Mr. Steve Seley, an Alaskan helicopter pilot, who built what is now the main lodge and
two lodging buildings for the purposes of a developing private residences. He liked the property
because he could land his helicopter on it.
5. Even though it’s one of the most prolific areas for lumber, the resort is made of a Ponderosa Pine
found in Utah mountains. The original owner did not want to wait for the local lumberman to
supply his wood so he had the Ponderosa Pine trucked in.
6. Up until the 1980s, all of the lodge’s electricity was generated by a water wheel at the falls.
7. The waters off Salmon Falls dock are the best prawn pot areas in the nation.
8. We have two Harbor Seals with distinctive spotted coats; and we have Otters, Sea Otters and
Mink on our property.
9. Salmon Falls Resort is located in the middle of a designated rainforest. The area receives over 12
feet of rain each year. (Average of 141.16 inches per year.)
10. There are 5 types of Salmon that can be caught while fishing at Salmon Falls Resort:
· Coho Salmon
· Chinook Salmon
· Pink Salmon
· Chum Salmon
· Sockeye Salmon

scenery and opportunity to observe wildlife are unparalleled. Exploring the great outdoors doesn’t
stop because of an occasional shower. The breathtaking mountains around Ketchikan are softened by
the mist and are beautiful.
Common sense is the best tool for your day in the wilderness. Before you go, let someone know
where you are going! Before departing, leave a trip itinerary and estimated time of return with family
or friends. Also, bring your phone! Although service may by spotty, cell phone reception is available
in many areas on trails in Ketchikan.
Whether you are going out for a quick hike or an extended day trip, certain items should ALWAYS be
packed for safety.
Make sure you have:
• Matches/Lighter

• Local maps
• Rain gear
• Knife/Multi-tool

• First Aid Kit
• Compass and Map/Smartphone with Global Positioning System (GPS)

Personal Tracker locators available for use when hiking long distances. This tool allows you to notify
the rescue squad of your position and status throughout your hike.
Wild Weather Warning
Ketchikan averages about 165 inches of rainfall each year. The weather in Alaska can be unpredictable,
with varying conditions mile to mile. Be sure to check the weather forecasts before leaving the Resort
and always prepare for a variety of weather conditions. If you plan on hiking to areas of higher
elevation, heavy fog and rain often decrease visibility and may create dangerous hiking conditions.

WILDLIFE & BEAR SAFETY
When hiking in the Ketchikan area, you are traveling in bear country. Revillagigedo Island is home to a
wide variety of wildlife and a large population of black bears. Follow the etiquette below when
travelling in bear country as these animals are extremely powerful and may be unpredictable.
• Travel in groups whenever possible or make noise when traveling alone.
• If you encounter a wild animal or a bear, make your presence known through verbal
communication as well as hand motions.
• Slowly back away from the bear while maintaining eye contact. NEVER RUN from an approaching
bear as this may prompt a predatory response.
• In mid to late summer, during the Pacific salmon spawn, bears congregate along streams and
rivers. Take caution when traveling along these waterways, as the running water may mask your
approach and lead to close encounters.
