History & History Related Items Evansville history: A number of native groups live in the area including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Setawik and Nunamiut Eskimos. The community was named for Wilford Evans, Sr. who ran a trading post and river barge business in Allakaket. He opened a sawmill where Evansville is now located and also built a lodge and store. An airfield was built in 1948 by the FAA. The field was used by the Navy as a support base. Evansville attractions: Most of Evansville residents are Eskimos and Athabascans. Nearby Bettles is mostly non-native. The Hickel Trail, a 30 miles winter road, gives area residents access to the Dalton Highway and then on to Fairbanks. The Koyukuk River is used extensively during th esummer months. A airport is also nearby in Bettles. Due to the access to the main road, Evansville receives goods at lower prices than many other villages in the area. This helps local residents live a little better lifestyle and encourages visitors. Many hunters drive up the Dalton Highway in search of local game. Because residents also utilize this same game for subsistence, hunters are not always encouraged. Return to Index
