Brief History of Kotzebue: Kotzebue lies on a sand spit at the end of the Baldwin Penninsula in the Kotzebue Sound where the Noatak, Kobuk and Selawik rivers end. The Kotzebue Sound was named after Otto von Kotzebue who 'discovered' the sound while exploring for Russia in 1818. The site was a trading location for local natives for hundreds of years. A post office was established in 1899. More information on Kotzebue, Alaska.

The local name for the site is Kikiktagruk. Kotzebue has a population of over 3,000, about 70% Native Alaskan (Iñupiat Eskimo) and serves as a supply hub for 10 satellite village in the Northwest Arctic Borough and one in the North Slope Borough.

The Iñupiat Eskimo speak the same language, Iñupiaq (In-yu-pak), as other Arctic Circle communities in Northern Canada and Greenland, given a difference in the local dialects.
