Information
about Fairbanks, Alaska
Fairbanks is in central Alaska, on the Chena River,
near its junction with the Tanana River. Fairbanks is the second
largest city in Alaska and the commercial and administrative heart
of the state's interior. The city is served by an international
airport and is the northern terminus of the Alaska Railroad (completed
1923) and the Richardson Highway, which is connected in Delta
Junction to the Alaska Highway (1942).
It
is a service center for the extensive mineral development of the
Alaskan far north and served as construction headquarters for
the Alaska Oil Pipeline (completed 1977), which runs from Prudhoe
Bay to Valdez. Also important to the city's economy are the University
of Alaska at Fairbanks (1917), and nearby Fort Wainwright and
Eielson Air Force Base. Denali National Park and Preserve, the
site of Mount McKinley, and several hot springs resorts are in
the area. The annual World Eskimo-Indian Olympics are held in
Fairbanks in July.
The
city was founded in 1902 with the discovery of gold nearby and
grew as a mining camp. It was incorporated as a city in 1903.
It is named for Charles W. Fairbanks, the vice president of the
United States from 1905 to 1909. Population 22,645 (1980); 30,843
(1990).
