Homer is a small town on the Kenai Peninsula in southcentral Alaska. It is located on the shore of Kachemak Bay.

Homer was established following the discovery of coal in the 1890's. It was named after Homer Pennock, a gold mining company promoter. The town never found much prosperity in mining, and was instead more successful in fishing, so much so that it is today labelled the "habilut fishing capital of the world". Other local industries include tourism and logging.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
