About Juneau, Alaska
Juneau is the capital of Alaska, a city and borough of 32,255 people on the Gastineau Channel. The Auke and Taku tribes fished this channel for thousands of years before gold drew outsiders here. In 1880 the Sitka mining engineer George Pilz offered a reward for gold-bearing ore and sent Joe Juneau and Richard Harris to the channel. Chief Kowee of the Auk Tribe guided the two men to Gold Creek, and on October 18, 1880, they marked out a 160-acre town site.
Miners poured in. By the autumn of 1881, more than 100 people lived in a camp of tents and shacks called Rockwell, which was later renamed Harrisburg. On December 14, 1881, a miners' meeting of 72 people voted to name the place for Joe Juneau. It was the first European American settlement started in Alaska after the purchase from Russia. In 1906 the seat of government moved here from Sitka, as a federal law of 1900 required.
- A church for 700 convertsAs Europeans pressed in, some Tlingit turned to the Russian Orthodox Church and arranged for a priest to serve their Juneau settlement. In 1890 about 700 people joined the church after chief Yees Gaanaalx of Auke Bay and his wife became members. The Orthodox Church Missionary Society helped them build a church. St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church was finished in 1894, and its iconostasis holds six large panels sent from Russia.
- The Governor's Mansion, 1912James Knox Taylor designed the Colonial Revival mansion, which was ordered in 1910 and finished in 1912. The territorial governor opened its doors to citizens on January 1, 1913. In June 1923 Warren G. Harding, the first president to visit Alaska, stood on its porch and spoke about his policies.
- A capitol from 1931Congress set aside money for a capitol in 1911, but World War I and trouble buying the land held the project up. Juneau residents paid part of the cost, and work began on September 8, 1929. The Art Deco Federal and Territorial Building was dedicated on February 14, 1931. When Alaska became a state in 1959, the building became its capitol.
- The capital that stayedIn the 1970s Alaska voters chose to move the capital to Willow, 70 miles north of Anchorage. Juneau's backers also won the FRANK Initiative, which required voters to approve the building costs first. Alaskans then turned down the estimated $900 million, so the capital stayed in Juneau. Later attempts to move it failed at the polls in 1984 and 1996.
