Return to Index History & History Related Items Adak history: The traditional residents of these islands were the Unangas, now known as Aleuts. The population has declined over the years, particularly after the Russian fur trade moved eastward. During World War II, the Naval Air Station here played an important role in the offensive against the Japanese occupation of some of the islands. Later, it also played a part in the cold war surveillance submarine programs. There were many large earthquakes over the years. In the peak years, over 6,000 residents were in Adak, but in 1994, military cut-backs occurred resulting in the closing of family housing and schools. The station closed on 31 March 1997 and now houses only civilians. It is now known as simply Adak rather than as Adak Station. The Aleut Corporation now owns the facilities under a pending agreement with the government. About 30 families moved here and the school was re-opened. Adak is now being developed as a commercial center. Other businesses and facilities are planning re-openings in the future.
