South Naknek is on the other side of the river.

Lieutenant Sarichev, also of the IRN, listed it as "Naugvik" in 1826, while Captain Tebenkov of the IRN spelled it "Naknek" in 1852. Fort Surarov or "Sowaroff" [5] was built nearby, if not at this location. The Naknek post office was established in 1907.[6] Demographics Historical population Census Pop.

The community appeared on Ivan Petroff's 1880 Census map as "Kinghiak", but did not include a separate population.[9] There is confusion as to whether the villages listed on the 1890 census, Pakwik (population 93) and Kinuyak (AKA Kinghiak) (population 51) were on either the south or north side of the river, but credited "Kinuyak" here for Naknek, which also included an unnamed native village on Naknek Lake.[10] In 1900, it returned as Naknek.[11] It did not appear on the 1910 census, but returned again in 1920 and to date. It was made a census-designated place (CDP) as of the 1980 census. Children in Naknek, 1917 As of the census[12] of 2000, there were 678 people, 247 households, and 162 families residing in the CDP.
