A little about Anchorage
From the sparkling waters of Cook Inlet to the tallest peaks of the Chugach Mountains, Anchorage, Alaska encompasses wild adventures and metropolitan appeals that form larger-than-life experiences.
The history of Anchorage
Originally settled as a tent city near the mouth of Ship Creek in 1914, a townsite was platted the following year alongside the bluff to the south. Anchorage was mostly a company town for the Alaska Railroad for its first several decades of existence. The strategic location of Alaska, which led to a massive buildup of military facilities throughout Alaska during the years of World War II, changed that. Largely due to the military presence and resource development activities throughout Alaska, Anchorage has enjoyed significant boosts to its population and economic base from 1940 to the present.
