The climate is similar to Southeast Alaska, with less precipitation.</div> <bR> <div> January temperatures range from 14 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. July temperatures vary from 39 to 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Average annual rainfall is 74 inches.</div> <bR> <div> The village name was derived from Afognak Island, and was first reported in 1839 by Sub-Lt. Mikhail Murashev. The Census of 1890 noted a series of settlements along the beach, including Rutkovsky village, a group of retired employees of the Russian American Company.</div> <bR> <div> A post office was maintained intermittently from 1888 to 1958. The Good Friday earthquake of 1964 generated a tsunami which destroyed the village. A new community was constructed on the northeast coast of Kodiak Island, called Port Lions, and the residents of Afognak moved there permanently in December 1964.</div> <bR> <div> There are a few small logging camps and fishing lodges on Afognak Island. A community of Russian Old Believers have also settled on the Island, at Aleneva.</div> <bR> <div> The economy is based on subsistence and logging activities. Transportation is provided by float plane from Kodiak. Float Plane access is found in various areas around the island.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Contact Information </B></div> <div> Village Council - Native Village of Afognak</div> <div> 204 E.
