Kotzebue

City in northwestern Alaska, at the tip of Baldwin Peninsula in Kotzebue Sound, 290 km/180 mi northeast of Nome; population (1990) 2,800. Set on tundra near the Arctic Circle, it is one of the largest Inuit settlements in Alaska. It is a trade centre for the surrounding area; tourism is also important. There is mining for zinc and lead north of the city.

Kotzebue was founded in the 18th century as a trading post for Arctic Alaska and part of Siberia.
