Petersburg is located on the north end of Kitkof Island, 32 miles northwest of Wrangell. Known as the Little Norway of Alaska, Petersburg was inhabited largely by Scandinavians whose chief occupation was fishing, canning, lumbering and fur farming. The town grew up around a salmon cannery and a sawmill built in 1897-1899. A post office was established in 1900.
