Care: machine wash cold (gentle), dry flat, no bleach, no iron on decoration, no dry clean.

Coal mines opened here around 1889, the town was founded in 1895 and named the next year for Homer Pennock, a mining promoter who left within a year, and a coal railroad ran down the Spit by 1899. Mining gave way to fishing, and the city incorporated in 1964, the year the Good Friday earthquake reshaped the Spit.

The Homer Spit reaches four and a half miles into Kachemak Bay beneath a wall of glaciers and the Kenai Mountains, the 1897 Salty Dawg cabin stands at the harbor, and the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World doubles as one of the artsiest small towns in Alaska. The Spit at the end of the Sterling Highway is the mark on this piece.

More From Homer Alaska

All Homer Alaska Items

The town's odd name comes from a boom that went bust. In the 1890s a gold-rush promoter named Homer Pennock landed on the spit with grand plans for coal mining, built a settlement, and left his first name on the place when the venture collapsed. The coal never paid, but the fish did. Through the early twentieth century Homer grew slowly as a fishing and homesteading outpost at the end of the trail, a hardscrabble frontier town on a spectacular bay, far from anywhere and content to be. The road only reached Homer in 1950, when the Sterling Highway finally tied the town to the rest of the Kenai Peninsula and the world beyond.

Our Homer logo carries Alaska's bear over "Alaska Territory · Est. 1959," the year Alaska became the forty-ninth state — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Alaska place. Printed in a distressed black-and-white that reads like an old outfitter's stamp, the bear is the Last Frontier in shorthand: rugged, wild, and at home in the cold. The bear is the through-line that ties Homer to every other Alaska town we make. What makes this one Homer is everything around it — the Spit, the halibut, and Kachemak Bay.

Why People Visit Homer

Homer offers Alaska at its most scenic and approachable — a working fishing port and arts town on one of the most beautiful bays in the state. Visitors come for the halibut charters, the Spit, and the wildlife and water excursions, and stay for the galleries, beaches, and unhurried end-of-the-road feel. From the harbor docks to the mountains across the bay, it rewards a slow few days. It is wild, creative, and welcoming in every season on Kachemak Bay.
