U.S. Decennial Census [5] |
South Naknek first appeared on the 1880 U.S. Census as one of two unincorporated Inuit villages called "Paugwik." [6] This apparently also included the future village of Naknek on the north side of the Naknek River. 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. Not until the 1940 census would South Naknek return again, and (for the first time) under that name. It did not appear in 1950, but returned again in 1960 and in every successive census. It was made a census-designated place (CDP) as of the 1980 census. Within the present boundaries is also the former village of Savonoski, which appeared once on the 1940 census with a population of 20, located east of the village of South Naknek (now a ghost). [7] This is not to be confused with a village of the same name, which was evacuated following the Katmai eruptions of 1912.

Young residents of South Naknek attend high school at Bristol Bay High School, in Naknek, Alaska. Naknek is located on the opposite side of the river. There is no bridge connecting the two towns, so school-children must be flow across the river and the beginning and the end of the school day. The Bristol Bay School District has provided this service as recently as 2008 [9] for school-children whose "school bus" from South Naknek to Naknek is an airplane. [10]
