Demographics
The three largest communities of the Bristol Bay area are Dillingham, King Salmon, and Naknek. Smaller communities which dot the coastline and rivers of Bristol Bay include: Egegik (/ˈɪɡɛɡɪk/), Ekuk (/ˈɛkoʊk/), Igiugig (/ˈɛdʒiːˈjɔːɡɪɡ/), Manokotak (/mɑːnəˈkoʊtɑːk/), New Stuyahok (/ˈstuːjəhɒk/), Newhalen, Nondalton, Pilot Point, Port Heiden, Ugashik (/juːˈɡæʃɪk/, and South Naknek.
All of these communities are primarily inhabited by Alaska Natives, except for Dillingham, Alaska and King Salmon, Alaska; the former being influenced early-on by white salmon-cannery employees of European descent and the latter being heavily populated by military personnel stationed, primarily during Cold War years, at the nearby King Salmon Air Force Station and later by visitors and employees of the nearby Katmai National Park and Preserve.
