Goodnews Bay is a city located on the north shore of Goodnews Bay at the mouth of the Goodnews River. It incorporated in 1970 as Goodnews Bay, but throughout various censuses, it appeared under several names prior to its incorporation (Mumtrahamute, Mumtrahamiut, Mumtrakmut, Good News Bay, and Mumtrak).

Platinum was discovered in the region around Goodnews Bay in 1926, and it was mined by the Goodnews Bay Mining Company until 1979.
