History

Until recently, it was the largest airfield in Alaska. The project is the result of a 50-year old treaty promising the Metlakatla Indian Community a road connecting their ocean-side city to Alaska's inside passage, to allow year-round ferry service to Ketchikan. They named the town New Metlakatla, after the town they had left behind, but later dropped the "New". At the 2000 United States Census census the population was 1,375.

In 1886, William Duncan (missionary) Duncan, an English tannery employee and lay minister of the Anglicanism Church, had a doctrinal dispute with the Church authorities in Metlakatla, B.C. After the war it became a United States Coast Guard search and rescue base.
