There are signs that Native American people lived in the area as early as 6000 BC.[3] In 2020, 5,522 people lived in Homer.[2] The most notable feature of Homer is the Homer Spit, a 4.5-mile-long (7.2 km) peninsula that sticks out into Kachemak Bay. The town's harbor and many of its fishing and tourism-related businesses are on the Spit.
