The Post Office Era

Back in 1892, a special building called a post office was opened in Kodiak. A post office is where people could send and receive letters, packages, and other important mail. It was a very important place for connecting people before phones and the internet were common!

This post office served the community for about 12 years. It closed its doors in 1904. The name "Kodiak" itself was chosen by the officials who worked for the postal service at that time.
