The prevalence of commercial fishing boats in the city's three docks, as well as several fish-packing houses attest to the importance of fishing in the area.

Lee Sing Alley contains several historically significant buildings owned by Japanese merchants until the WWII Internment Program.
Petersburg is known in these parts as "Alaska's Little Norway." Norwegian flags fly, and the Sons of Norway Hall anchors community life. Uff da!*
