Ninilchik with a population of 722 (2000 census) is an Alaska Native Village.

The people of Ninilchik have ancestors of Aleut and Alutiiq and Dena’ina descendants. Many also include Russian ancestors, from a couple of men who settled here with their Alutiiq wives and children in 1847, and later migrants. The Alaskan Russian language was widely spoken in the village for almost 200 years.
