Nome, Port Clarence and Teller are on the south side of the peninsula. Wales is near the west tip of the peninsula. Cape Prince of Wales, the most western point in the Americas, is on the west tip.
The peninsula was named after William Seward, the United States Secretary of State who negotiated the Purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867.
The peninsula is far from the Alaskan town of Seward, which is located in south central Alaska.
Seward is a city in Kenai Peninsula Borough in the U.S. state of Alaska.
The purchase of this frontier land ("Seward's Icebox") was mocked as "Seward's Folly" and Andrew Johnson's "polar bear garden".
Seward is unique among most small Alaskan communities in that it has road access in the Seward Highway which also brings it bus service, albeit most buses are marketed towards tourists and the costs are higher and service decreases or ceases in the winter.
