Gustavus (Lingít: Wanachích T’aak Héen[3]) (gus-TAY-vəs)[4] is a second-class[5] city[6] in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska.

The first permanent homestead was established in 1917, when Abraham Lincoln Parker moved his family to Strawberry Point.

In 1793 George Vancouver named Point Adolphus (at the northern tip of Chichagof Island, and today a well-known humpback whale feeding area) after Adolphus Frederick, seventh son of King George III.

The area is a temperate rain forest; spruce and hemlock trees reach heights of 60 metres (200 ft), and alders, balsam poplar, fern, mosses, fireweed, lupine, and other plants are also common.

[10] Gustavus is split by the Salmon River, a small waterway crossed by a bridge for the paved road running out to Glacier Bay National Park.

Gustavus has a wet, maritime subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) with short, mild summers and long, cold winters.

The Gustavus economy[17] is strongly linked to the surrounding natural resources; tourism and commercial fishing are mainstays.

Salmon and halibut remain as the primary catch of the commercial fishing done out of Gustavus.

Those not involved in tourism or seafood typically work for the government at the public school, the post office, the National Park Service, or the City of Gustavus.

The hardware and grocery store is called ToshCo, named after its owner and the fact that most of its inventory is from the Costco in Juneau.

During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, the ferry system shut down and Gustavus became even more isolated, relying on private boats for grocery shipments.
