Return to Index History & History Related Items Juneau history: Juneau has been Alaska's capital since 1900. It was founded in 1880. The Juneau area was first home to the Tlingit Indians who fished, hunted, trapped and traded here for thousands of year. Once gold was discovered in 1880, the area changed and greatly expanded. The gold fever brought miners, laborers, merchants and new residents to the area from all over the world. The panning for gold days were short-lived as the loose gold in the streams began to run out. What was left was underground which meant large mining companies began to come in to mine it out. The gold ore required up to 28 tons of ore to get just one ounce of gold which caused new, more efficient, technology to be developed. Though mining was the focus of the local economy, many other facets were also developed with fisherman, merchants, etc. and their families. First known as Harrisburg in 1880, named for one of its founders, Richard Harris, Juneau was formed in 1900. In 1881, a new name was voted in for Harrisburg. Juneau City won over Harrisburg and Rockwell. The name was official from the Post Office Department in 1882. The Post Office Department also dropped the word "city" from the name, officially naming the city, Juneau. The state capital moved from Sitka to Juneau in 1906 when Alaska was still just a U.S. Territory. The mining era officially closed in 1944 when the last mine closed down. Through the years, government, and all its related fields, have become the major portions of the local economy for Juneau. In 1970, the City of Juneau and City of Douglas were unified into the City & Borough of Juneau. Here is a great history page for Juneau.
