The first oil discovery in Alaska was in late 1968 when Prudhoe Bay was discovered east of the Colville River delta. Since then, the population of Alaska has quadrupled. As a result, Anchorage has seen a rise in population and tourism. The city was first developed as the headquarters of the Alaska RR, but grew in importance as a city and as a railroad town. But before the boom, there was a rough side to Anchorage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those interested in buying souvenirs from Alaska, the iconic Ulu Knife is a great choice. The knife is based on a traditional design used by the indigenous people of Alaska.

The knives are made on site at the Ulu Knif Factory, which can be visited on a visit to Anchorage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name “anchorage” came from the large sailing ships that would moor in the area to wait for a change of wind. Once the wind shifted, the ships could continue on their journey.
