The population was 931 at the 2018 estimate. At the 2010 census, the population was 958. In the 2000 census, the population was 840. The city is located a few miles south of the confluence of the Tanana River and Delta River at Bigdelta. This river is considered one of the most scenic in Alaska, and many of its attractions include a nature preserve and fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The local economy relies on several industries. Agriculture and mining are the major economic drivers in the area. There are also large mining operations and the area is a popular tourist destination. Tourism and military activities are essential to the Delta Junction economy. However, many residents rely on hunting as a source of income. The community also has a small airstrip, which makes sightseeing by charter aircraft an option. This article focuses on three main industries that are important to the local economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delta Junction was founded in 1904 as a telegraph station. The town grew during the Chisana Gold Strike and was selected for an importation program in the 1920s. Today, Delta Junction is home to the 90000 acre Delta Bison Sanctuary, which houses more than 500 bison. The town&#8217;s sweeping vistas of the Alaska Range, the Delta River, Mount Hayes, and the peaks of Mount Moffit make it a desirable destination for vacationing or visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area is surrounded by mountains, and the area is often referred to as Little Chicago or the Windy City. This is because of the wind that blows down the Delta River. This brings river silt during the summer, and snowdrifts during the winter. Temperatures in Delta Junction can reach as low as -40 degF\/degC during colder months. On the other hand, when the Chinook wind blows, the temperatures may increase well above freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its small size, Delta Junction offers many interesting attractions. The area&#8217;s breathtaking views of the Alaska Range are breathtaking. In addition to these, the region is also a great location to view the Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights. This phenomenon is best seen in the months of September and October, but it can be seen at any time of the year. The best viewing times are from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Delta Junction in the winter will allow you to experience the Aurora Borealis, or the northern lights, which are visible in the sky above the Arctic Circle. Usually, the Aurora Borealis is viewed in the northern skies from September to March. During the summer, the sky is too bright for this phenomenon. While the best time to view them is during the dark months, you can visit them at any time. The city of Delta is not far from the town of Whitehorse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delta Junction is a city in the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area.
