Craig is the largest town on Prince of Wales Island with a population of over 1,000 people, this makes it the centerpiece of the island for transportation, commerce, government, and tourism. Tlingit and Haida peoples traditionally used Craig and its surrounding area for its rich seafood resources and still do to this day. Commercial fishing is Craig’s main economic driver today with its robust salmon runs, especially King salmon. In addition to salmon, shellfish and groundfish harvest put Craig among the top 100 fishing ports in the United States.
