Denali Borough     This borough is up for adoption... Email the State Administrator     Communities [population in brackets]: Anderson Cantwell Ferry Healy McKinley Park   Denali Borough lies in Interior Alaska, between the Fairbanks North Star and Mat-Su Boroughs. Seventy percent of the Borough is the Denali National Park, home to 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. The earliest inhabitants were nomadic Indians who fished, trapped and hunted through the Interior. The first non-Native settlers were miners, who established a camp at Hoseanna Creek near Healy (later known as Lignite Creek) prior to 1902. Formation of the Denali National Park in 1917 and construction of the Alaska Railroad brought additional settlers to the area in the early 1920s. Coal mining began in the area in 1922. Clear Air Force Base, the Usibelli Coal Mine and tourism at the Denali Park have brought growth and development. The Borough was incorporated in December 1990.    Links: Township Locator Alaska Resources at Rootsweb Cyndi's List - Alaska Localities Interment.net - Cemetery Transcription Library Social Security and Death Index Birth, Death, Marriage, & Divorce Records Alaska State Vital Records Bureau of Vital Statistics Department of Health & Social Services 350 Main Street, Room 114 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0675 Phone: 907-465-3392 Lookup Volunteers Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Alaska Forums & Message Boards AlaskaWeb Queries GenForum Alaska Message Board RootsWeb Message Boards - Alaska       Mailing Lists: AKWEB: Alaska Genealogy & History - This is a statewide list intended for the exchange of genealogical, historical and cultural information about the state of Alaska and the ancestors who lived here.
