Wainwright (/ˈwnrt/;[5] Ulġuniq[pronunciation?] in Iñupiaq), also known as Ulguniq or Kuuk,[pronunciation?] is a city[6] in North Slope Borough, Alaska, United States. At the 2020 census the population was 628,[7] making it the third largest city in the North Slope Borough, up from 556 in 2010. The community was named after Wainwright Lagoon, which in turn was named after Lt. John Wainwright, an officer under Capt. F. W. Beechey, who were the first non-native people to travel to the lagoon in 1826. An unincorporated area known as Wainwright Inlet by 1890, Wainwright was founded as an incorporated municipality in 1904.

Geography and climate

Wainwright in the 1940s

Wainwright is located on the Chukchi Sea about 72 miles (116 km) southwest of Utqiaġvik.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 42.5 square miles (110 km2), of which, 17.6 square miles (46 km2) of it is land and 24.9 square miles (64 km2) of it (58.63%) is water.

Wainwright has a dry-winter Arctic climate (Köppen ETw) with temperatures ranging from −56 to 84 °F (−49 to 29 °C). There is little precipitation, mostly snow; however, the dry winters make the annual snowfall totals more modest than they would otherwise be. The Chukchi Sea is unfrozen from early July to late September.

Wainwright first appeared on the 1890 U.S. Census as the unincorporated area of "Wainwright Inlet." This included the native settlement Kugmiut, camps on Kug River, Setorokamiut, Nuklwok, Nutnago and Shinnowok. All 72 residents were native.[11] It did not appear again on the census until 1920, this time as Wainwright. It was formally incorporated in 1962.

On August 18, 1778, at this location (70 44N) off Wainwright and 50 miles or so North of Icy Cape, Captain James Cook decided that his path North through the Northwest passage was completely blocked by ice and turned South again. Photo taken July 24, 2017.
