When the area was attacked by Imperial Japanese forces, Caines Head and other areas such as Resurrection Bay became points of strategic defense in an attempt to defend the Port of Seward. When the Alaskan Railroad was operational it acted as the southern terminus and was a great value to all of Alaska. It was a integral part of shipping supplies to Alaska for people and war efforts.
Today it is best known as a historical site and a recreation area for hikers and many fisherman. Shale beaches and forested areas can climb from 650 feet at Resurrection Bay all the way up to 7000 foot mountains with sharp peaks.
