Return to Index History & History Related Items Circle history: Circle began in 1893 as a supply center for items being shipping up the Yukon River and then to the gold camps. Because the miners thought the settlement was on the Arctic Circle, they named it Circle. It is also known as Circle City. By 1896 it was a large mining town of about 700 residents. Many stores, saloons, dance halls, an opera house, a library, churches and its own newspaper were all in Circle at the time. Once gold was discovered in Nome and Klondike, the town was mostly deserted. Only a few miners stayed but enough remained to keep the town going. Mining continues today. The Circle Native Community Tribe is located here. The population is about 85% native with mostly Athabascan. The community is classified as a primitive area and lacks many modern conveniences such as indoor plumbing facilities. There are plans underway to modernize the area in this respect. There is one school with a small number enrolled. Recreational activities bring visitors to Circle. Circle Hot Springs was closed in 2002, but some people live there in the summer months. The STeese Highway provides year-round transportation, but many residents use ATVs, snowmobiles and dog sleds to get around locally. Float planes land on the river and barges deliver supplies to the community when possible. There is a 3,000 foot long lighted gravel airstrip available for use. It is maintained by the state.
