"Baranof Island, An Illustrated History." Alaska Cedar Press, 1990, p. 76.〕 featuring brothels and its own token system of currency. Prior to the 1920s, Port Alexander was the salmon fishing capital of the world. Port Alexander originally incorporated in 1936. It became a part of the Greater Sitka Borough in 1963, following the state legislature's passage of the Mandatory Borough Act. The original municipality was dissolved when it unified with Sitka's city and borough governments in 1971, which formed the present-day entity known as the City and Borough of Sitka. However, residents were unhappy with the arrangement, and successfully sought to detach themselves from the new municipality. Port Alexander reincorporated as a second class city in 1974. Currently, the Port Alexander Historical Society is undertaking the project of creating a small museum celebrating the town's history.
