Togiak (Central Yupik: Tuyuryaq) is a city in Dillingham Census Area, Alaska, United States.
[6] By the early 20th century, heavy winter snowfalls made wood gathering difficult, so residents began to relocate to the west side of the bay to the new village of Togiak, which first appeared on the 1920 census.
The earlier village of Togiagamute is now within the adjacent Twin Hills CDP, and the old site is still occupied.
The Togiak area became a draw for natives in the vicinity after the devastating influenza pandemic of 1918–19, which had almost wiped out many villages.
Togiak was flooded in 1964, which prompted some residents to relocate and establish the new community of Twin Hills, northeast of the original village of Togiagamute on the upper east side of the bay.
It lies in Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, and is the gateway to Walrus Island Game Sanctuary.
On the 1940 census, the area of "Togiak Bay" was reported separately, featuring 46 residents.
