"Take My Picture"
The original Kongiganak was settled in the 19th century and was located on a small creek just above Kuskokwim Bay.[2][3][4] In 1880, it was called "Kongiganagamute" and had a population of 175 Inuit.[5] The site was later abandoned. It is located a few miles east of present-day Kwigillingok and about 9 miles southeast of the current Kongiganak. The current Kongiganak was permanently settled in the 1960s when former residents of Kwigillingok sought higher ground in search of relief from floods. It is served by Kongiganak Airport.
