the past
Our History
In 1880, Ivanof Bay was named by lt. Dall of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. While a salmon cannery and post office was open and operating from the 1930s to the early 1950s, it wasn’t until the 1960s that Ivanof Bay saw permanent residents. In the 1960’s several families moved to Ivanof Bay from Perryville looking for better hunting grounds and water sources, and to pursue a lifestyle in peace, with religious freedom.
