The residents of the town purportedly fled en masse in the 1950s after a number of unsolved murders and disappearances.[3] HistoryEstablishmentPortlock was established in the Kenai Peninsula in the early-twentieth century as a cannery,[1] particularly for salmon.[2] It is thought to have been named after Captain Nathaniel Portlock,[1] a British ship captain who sailed there in 1786.[3] In 1921, a U.S. Post Office opened in the town.[3] The population largely consisted of Russian-Aleuts.[3] AbandonmentAround the 1940s, it was reported that several Dall sheep hunters had disappeared in the hills outside Portlock; it was also stated in a 1973 article from the Anchorage Daily News that dismembered bodies of some of the missing had washed ashore in the lagoon.[3] These events led the residents of the community to flee en masse, and the town's post office officially closed in 1950.[3][4] Nearby communitiesPortlock was located adjacent to another community known as Port Chatham (which takes its name from Port Chatham bay).[3] Seldovia is located {{circa}} {{convert|16|mi|km}} north of Portlock; a chromite mining camp, known as Chrome,[5] was also located near Portlock, which operated in the early-twentieth century.[6] Demographics{{US Census population|1940= 31 |1980= 31 |align-fn=center |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[7] }} Portlock first appeared on the 1940 U.S. Census as an unincorporated village of 31 residents. It would not report again on the census until 1980, when it was made a census-designated place (CDP), again reporting 31 residents. It was dissolved as a CDP by the 1990 census and has not reported again.
