History
When the borough incorporated in 2013, it took area from the Hoonah–Angoon Census Area and the former Petersburg Census Area. The remaining portion of Petersburg Census Area (including Kake) was added to Prince of Wales–Hyder Census Area. Petersburg Census Area was created in 2008 from the remaining portion of Wrangell–Petersburg Census Area upon the incorporation of the City and Borough of Wrangell.
