Census Area Office
Because Alaskan census areas are part of the Unorganized Borough, they have no borough seats.

Parent Borough
It was formerly part of the Census Bureau's Prince of Wales-Outer Ketchikan Census Area, but the name was changed in 2008 after most of the Outer Ketchikan (except the parts near the community of Hyder, and Annette Island) was lost to annexation by the Ketchikan Gateway Borough.
