Homer, AK - I Am Fish and I Will Leave the Light on for You

from Small Town News · host Small Town News

Welcome to Homer, Alaska, the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World"! Located on the shore of Kachemak Bay, the area was first settled when coal was discovered in the area in the 1890s. Homer is the southernmost town on the contiguous Alaska highway system and erected its first traffic light in 2005. The most recognizable feature of the town is the Homer Spit. It is a narrow gravel bar that extends in the bay and has the longest road into ocean waters in the entire world. Notable residents include Christian worship musicianLincoln Brewster, Motel 6 spokesman Tom Bodett, and Jean Keene, the "Eagle Lady of Homer." Keene fed bald eagles on Homer Spit for decades. We hope you enjoy our exploration of this wonderful little town.Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
