Here is a brief introduction to the state of Alaska.

Capital City: Juneau
Nicknames: Last Frontier, Land of the Midnight Sun, Great land
Population: over 648.000 residents

State’s Flag: adopted in 1927, shows the Big Dipper and the North Star. The constellation alludes to Alaska’s gold resources; the star recalls Alaska’s status as the northernmost state.

In 1741 Vitus Bering, a Dane working for Russia, becomes first European to reach Alaska. In 1745-59 Russians, in search of sea otter furs, arrive in Aleutian Islands.
In 1804 Sitka becomes capital of Russian Alaska. In 1867 U.S. pays $7.2 million for Alaska-less than two cents an acre. In 1878 First fish cannery is built on Prince of Wales Island. In 1899 Thousands of prospectors flood into Nome after gold is discovered. In 1900 Juneau becomes capital. In 1912 Alaska becomes a U.S. territory. In 1957 Oil is discovered on Kenai Peninsula in southeastern Alaska. In 1959 Alaska joins the Union as 49th state. In 1964 Earthquake and tsunami kill 115 people and cause severe damage in Anchorage, Kodiak, Seward, and Valdez. In 1971 Federal government gives 40 million acres and $962.5 million to Alaska’s Eskimos, Indians, and Aleuts.
In 1977 Eight-hundred-mile Trans-Alaska pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez is completed. In 1989 Prince William Sound is site of largest oil spill in U.S. history. In 1998 an initiative on the general election ballot passes, making English the official language in state government.
Cool rain forests drip with moss. Arctic deserts resonate with the sound of howling winds. Snowcapped peaks, some of the tallest in all the 50 stales, punctuate this land with their rugged splendor, and remote, fog-enshrouded islands lie at the doorstep of Asia. A portal for human migration since the Ice Age, Alaska, America’s “last frontier,” is still a land of Inuit and Indian hunters, prospectors, dogsled musher’s, and a rough-and-ready frontier spirit.
Nowhere else in America does mankind’s imprint rest as lightly as it does in Alaska? Vast stretches of the state are inhabited only by grizzly bears and caribou. More than twice the size of Texas, Alaska has slightly more than 650,000 residents, and half of them live in or around the state’s two largest cities, Anchorage and Fairbanks. The state capital of Juneau, set among the spectacular fjords of the southeastern panhandle, is accessible only by boat or airplane. Alaska is a place of superlatives. While most states have no glaciers at all, Alaska has 100,000 of them. It is also a land of extremes, at once the easternmost, northernmost, and westernmost state. Because the curving chain of the Aleutian Islands pokes hundreds of miles beyond the 180° meridian, the International Date Line makes a wide, arc so that the archipelago can be in the same day as the rest of the state.
