Long known as the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World," Homer is also nicknamed "the end of the road," and more recently, "the cosmic hamlet by the sea." Homer was incorporated in 1964 as a first-class city and is located four hours south of Anchorage. The Homer Spit is one popular destination for visitors, who can choose from the exceptional shopping, fine dining, lively art scene, and outdoor adventure options available.

The Homer Police Department was organized in 1968 as part of the relatively new (Incorporated March 31, 1964) City of Homer's requirement for a "first class" city status.
