In the 1850s, this town was the center of three gold rushes. These were the Stikine River Gold Rush, the Cassiar River Gold Rush, and the Klondike Gold Run. In 1861, the Hudson Bay Company hired Buck Choquette to locate gold in the Stikine River. He would eventually lead a stampede that eventually brought prosperity to Wrangell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The region was once home to the Tlingit Indians, but outside forces were not yet able to visit the Native Alaskans. In 1811, Russian explorers began trading furs with local Tlingit tribes. In 1833, Lieutenant Dionysius Zarembo landed at the present-day site of Wrangell. This settlement was enclosed by a dense wall of pointed logs. In the years that followed, Spanish and English explorers began to scout the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George Vancouver was the first European to visit the area. He was on a surveying expedition, but missed finding the nearby Stikine River. Several years later, the town was dominated by lumber and fishing companies. In the 20th century, the area evolved into a tourist destination. Today, tourists flock to the region to experience the region&#8217;s rich history and diverse natural beauty. The town is home to the largest Alaskan wildlife sanctuary, the world&#8217;s northernmost moose herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrangell is home to the oldest town in Alaska. It dates back to 1334 when a Russian fur trading post was established there. Two gold rushes followed, and the Stikine River connects the town to Telegraph Creek, British Columbia. Water and electricity are supplied through municipally owned utilities, and a gravity system from a mountain stream. The town&#8217;s population of about 1500 people is one of its most important assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is located in the Tongass National Forest and is located on Mitkof Island, at the north end of the Wrangell Narrows. Petersburg was founded by Peter Buschman in 1897 and was incorporated in 1910. Since that time, the town has been slowly but surely growing. You&#8217;ll find scores of fishing boats docked in its harbor. The small town lies at the foot of snow-capped mountains and has three salmon canneries. The town also has two shellfish operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon arrival, you can choose a souvenir from the local culture. Stikine River Gifts &amp; Apparel is an excellent place to purchase souvenirs. The town&#8217;s unique flora and fauna is abundant in this small community. When planning a vacation to Wrangell, Alaska, be sure to look at the countless opportunities available for souvenirs. You&#8217;ll discover that this little town has a rich history and an interesting cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coastal Alaska&#8217;s rugged mountains and fjords are surrounded by rain forests. The archipelago of islands protects the shoreline of the mainland. The lush spruce and hemlock forests are home to Dall sheep, marten, and mink. Mountain goats are also common in the region. For the nature lover, this town has plenty to offer. Soak in the rich culture of this picturesque town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, Wrangell is home to a rich gold rush history.
