Portlock (Sugpiaq: Arrulaa'ik) is a ghost town in the U.S. state of Alaska, located on the southern edge of the Kenai Peninsula, around 16 miles (26 km) south of Seldovia.
[2] Named after Nathaniel Portlock, the town was an active cannery community in the early 20th century.
Portlock was established in the Kenai Peninsula in the early 20th century as a cannery,[1] particularly for salmon.
[1][5] Most of the people who left Portlock in the 1940s moved to the nearby Native Alaskan villages of Nanwalek and Port Graham.
The series, Alaskan Killer Bigfoot, follows a scout team exploring the ruins of the abandoned village.
