Welcome to Juneau Alaska

Juneau (pop: 30,990) is the State Capitol of Alaska and scene of the first Gold Strike in 1880. Until 1944, this town was one of the world's largest producers of low-grade gold ore.

The area of Juneau is larger than that of Rhode Island and Delaware individually and almost as large as the two states combined. Downtown Juneau is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and across the channel from Douglas Island. Visit historic South Franklin St that recreates the feel of the 1898 gold rush era.

As the capital of Alaska, the primary employer in Juneau, by a large margin, is government. This includes the federal government, state government, municipal government the local airport, the local hospital, harbors, school district, and the University of Alaska Southeast. Local mines also contribute to the economy including Greens Creek, and the Kensington Gold Mine.
