Twin Hills, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Twin Hills yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Twin Hills (Central Yupik: Ingricuar) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Dillingham Census Area, Alaska, United States. As of the 2020 census, Twin Hills had a population of 103. Although Twin Hills wasn't settled until 1965, the present CDP encompasses the original settlement of Togiak (then Togiagamute) on the northeast side of Togiak Bay. In the early 20th century, many residents removed to the northwest side of the bay to establish the "new" Togiak.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 74 to 103 (+39%).
