UNALAKLEET, ALASKA

Traveling north this year? Reserve your lodging at a welcoming Unalakleet bed and breakfast when visiting this town, less than 150 miles from Nome. The meaning of the name of this village is “southernmost one.” Indeed, Unalakleet, Alaska, is the southernmost town of its region. Located on Norton Sound, this town boasts remnants of houses that archaeologists have linked to the period from 200 B.C to 300 A.D. The 1830s brought the first trading post here, and reindeer herders soon followed. In 1901, the US Army Signal Corps built a telegraph line over 600 miles long from here to St. Michael. At one time, there was a trade monopoly held by the Indians on the upper river. Learn about all of these fascinating stories, or do some fishing for Arctic Char, Arctic Grayling, Dolly Varden, or a variety of Salmon, while traveling, and taking in the beauty of your surroundings.
