During the 1930s, Togiak Bay was identified by miners from Goodnews Bay as an area possibly containing ores. More than 3,000 claims had apparently been made there by September 1937.{{cite news |title=Stampede on to Togiak Bay in Alaska |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/72896287/stampede-on-to-togiak-bay-in-alaska/ |access-date=March 7, 2021 |work=Reno Evening Gazette |date=September 25, 1937}}
During the 1990s, the bay had the richest herring fishery in Alaska. It was open to the public for fishing.{{cite news |title=Togiak Bay Herring Fisher May be on Verge of Collapse |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/72897515/togiak-bay-herring-fisher-may-be-on/ |access-date=March 7, 2021 |work=Daily Sitka Sentinel |date=May 8, 1990}}
