History
Mount Katmai erupted on June 6, 1912, permanently displacing many local native people. One month after the eruption, 78 of the Katmai refugees boarded the U.S. revenue cutter Manning to return to the Alaska Peninsula and establish a new village. After a failed first village site selection, the natives were relocated yet again to a spot 200 miles (320 km) southwest of Mt. Katmai. The new settlement was named “Perry”, and later became known as “Perryville”, for K.W. Perry, captain of the Manning.
On July 29, 2021 a M8.2 Earthquake struck 104 km SE of Perryville.
