Craig
Alaska Historical Information With the help of local Haidas, a fish saltery was built on nearby Fish Egg Island in 1907 by Craig Miller, followed by a packing company and cold storage plant at the present site of Craig. A sawmill and salmon cannery built in 1912 peaked during World War I. The fishing industry collapsed in the 1950s due to depleted salmon runs. In 1972, Ed Head built a large sawmill near Klawock six miles from Craig, providing year-round jobs and helping to stabilize the economy. Head Mill was sold in the early 1990s to Viking Lumber. More Craig, Alaska history coming soon. Source: Alaska Department of Community and Economic Development
