Fairbanks-North Star Borough     This borough is up for adoption... Email Colleen, State Coordinator   Communities College Eielson AFB Ester Fairbanks Fort Wainwright Fox Harding Lake Moose Creek North Pole Pleasant Valley Salcha Two Rivers The Fairbanks North Star Borough is located in the heart of Interior Alaska, and with 84,979 residents, is the second-largest population center in the state. This borough was established on January 1, 1964. Its total area encompasses 7,361 square miles of land.  Summer days linger here; when the solstice arrives, there is more than 22 hours of daylight.  Koyukon Athabascans have lived in this area for thousands of years. Fairbanks developed when the Chena steamboat landing brought many non-Natives to Fairbanks during the Pedro Dome gold rush. The population of the area continued to increase after construction of the Alcan Highway and the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline. There are also two large military installations within the Borough - Fort Wainwright Army Post and Eielson Air Force Base. These installations account for over one-fifth of the Borough's population.   Links: Bureau of Land Management Township Locator ALHN Topic Pages - Covers everything from antique letters and archaeology to the wild west Alaska Resources at Rootsweb Cyndi's List - Alaska Localities Alaska Tombstone Project at Rootsweb Interment.net - Cemetery Transcription Library Social Security and Death Index Birth, Death, Marriage, & Divorce Records Alaska State Vital Records Bureau of Vital Statistics Department of Health & Social Services 350 Main Street, Room 114 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0675 Phone: 907-465-3392 Cemetery & Funeral Homes Alaska Cemetery Registrations - USGW Tombstone Transcription Project Obituary & Newspaper Articles Alaska Newspaper Abstracts Lookup Volunteers Genealogy Helplist - Alaska <http://www.helplist.org> Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Alaska <http://www.raogk.com>     Mailing Lists: ALHN-AK: ALHN Alaska Genealogy & History - A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding genealogy and history in Alaska.
