It was a Canadian outpost at the time. The local Gwich'in Indians used the settlement as a trade center for many years. The Hudson Bay Company operated here from 1846 until 1869. In 1869 Fort Yukon was found to be part of the US and the trading post was then operated by Moses Mercier. Both the Klondike gold rush and the whlaing boom on the Arctic Sea brought many challenges to the settlement. But the worst was a series of disease epidemics that greatly damaged the area. In 1949, a bad flood also did much damage to the area. The city incorporated in 1959.
