Fort Yukon, ALASKA - 1928 - REAL PHOTO: Fort Yukon (Gwich\'in: Gwich\'yaa Zhee, translation: \"House on the Flats\") is a city in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska. The population, predominately Gwich\'in Alaska Natives, was 583 at the 2010 census, down from 595 in 2000. This area north of the Arctic Circle was occupied for thousands of years by cultures of indigenous people and in historic times by the Gwich’in people. What became the village of Fort Yukon developed from a trading post, Fort Yukon, established by Alexander Hunter Murray of the Hudson\'s Bay Company, on 25 June 1847. While the post was in Russian America, the Hudson\'s Bay Company continued to trade there until the American traders expelled it in 1869, following the Alaska Purchase when the Alaska Commercial Company took over the post. During the Klondike Gold Rush, in the winter of 1897–1898, Fort Yukon received two hundred prospectors from Dawson City, which was short of supply. During the 1950s, the United States Air Force established a base and radar station at Fort Yukon; the town was officially incorporated in 1959. Since the late 20th century, due in part to its extreme northerly location and its proximity to Fairbanks, it has become a minor tourist destination. This White Border Era (1915-30), Real Photo postcard, handated June 24, 1928, is in good condition.
