History

Captain James Cook explored and described Anchorage in 1778. He is considered the first person to do this. Russia had incredible influence over the area, especially in trading. However, in 1867, Russia had to sell the land to the United States.

By 1915, the headquarters for the Alaska Railroad were built in Anchorage. Over 2,000 people flocked to the area, as did many entrepreneurs. Soon, shops were popping up all over the town Ð some of them in unique places, such as a steamship named 'Berth.' The city continued to grow until 1964, when a 9.2 earthquake shook the area. Because Anchorage was less than 100 miles away, the city had hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. The city was reborn due to revenue from oil and plans for beautification. As of today, tourism plays a critical role in the development of the city. As of the 2010 census, there were 291,826 citizens in Anchorage.
