was 3,726.
Geography
Homer is located at 59°38'35" North, 151°31'33" West (59.643059, -151.525900)GR1.
Homer is on the shore of Kachemak Bay on the southwest side of the Kenai Peninsula. Its most distinguishing
feature is the Homer Spit, a narrow 7 km (4.5 mile) long gravel bar that extends into the bay, on which is located
the Homer Harbor.
Much of the coastline as well as the Homer Spit sank dramatically during the Good Friday Earthquake in
March of 1964. After the earthquake, very little vegetation was able to survive on the Homer Spit.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 58.1 km sq (22.4 mi sq). 27.4 km sq
(10.6 mi sq) of it is land and 30.7 km sq (11.9 mi sq) of it is water. The total area is 52.83% water.
Education
The Homer Public Library has enthusiastic support from the Friends of the Homer Library, established in
1948, which raised funds and support for a new library building, to be opened September 16, 2006.
The Kachemak Bay Campus of Kenai Peninsula College provides post-secondary education, as well as
ESL and GED training to the community of Homer.
Media
Homer has two newspapers, the Homer Tribune, an independent paper established in 1991, and the Homer
News, a weekly owned by Morris Communications.
Popular culture
According to a report on the April 17th, 2006 edition of The Daily Show, it was satirically reported that Homer
had been overpopulated by bald eagles due in large part by Jean Keene, known as the "Eagle Lady" who
feeds 200 to 300 eagles about 500 pounds of fish daily
