POPULATION: 0 (2006)

LOCATION: In the Aleutian Islands on the northern coast of Sanak Island, 50 miles southeast of False Pass.

DESCRIPTION: A seasonal-use area with no permanent population. There is no employment in Pauloff Harbor, though the rich resources of the area would make a subsistence lifestyle possible. Floatplanes or personal boats from False Pass or King Cove are the primary means of transportation.

HISTORY: The community name differs from the harbor on which it is located, Pavlov Harbor. A post office was established in 1949. The island is now unoccupied. Most of the shareholders live in Sand Point.
