Seward

Seward is located in Kenai Peninsula Borough on Resurrection Bay, on the eastern Kenai Peninsula 127 miles south of Anchorage. Seward is one of Alaska's oldest and most scenic communities, known as the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park.

The city was named for U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia during the Lincoln Administration.

The harbor is ice free all year, making Seward an important supply center for Interior Alaska, as well as allowing residents and visitors easy access in and out of the city.

The Seward Chamber of Commerce-Convention and Visitors Bureau operates two visitor information centers.

The visitor center at Mile 2 Seward Hwy is open daily Memorial Day to Labor Day, weekdays the rest of the year. The Information Cache, located in a railroad car, is open daily June to August.
