Sand Point, located on Popof Island in the Aleutian Islands, was founded in 1898 by a San Francisco fishing company as a trading post and cod fishing station. The town's early residents included Aleuts from nearby villages and Scandinavian fishermen. Originally established by the Aleut people, Sand Point remains a thriving fishing community, with salmon and cod serving as vital resources that sustain its economy and way of life.
