Seward
A port town on the Kenai Peninsula in southern Alaska, USA. Population 1,843 (1980). Overlooking Resurrection Bay in the Gulf of Alaska. Founded in 1903 as a supply base for the construction of the Alaska Railroad to the Yukon Valley, the town was named after Secretary of State William H.

With an ice-free port, the town is important as the southern terminus of the railroad, a trade stop, and a tourist center on the Kenai Peninsula, focusing on hunting and fishing.
