Pauloff Harbor, Alaska

Pauloff Harbor is an unincorporated community with no year-round population on the west side of Pavlov Harbor on the northern coast of Sanak Island, 50 miles (80 km) southeast of False Pass, in the Aleutians East Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The primary means of transportation is boats and float planes from False Pass or King Cove.[1] While a post office was established in 1949, the village has no permanent population at present or public facilities, although a village corporation operates from a post office box in Sand Point, where most of the corporation shareholders live.[2]
