Juneau Alaska History:
The area was a fish camp for the indigenous Tlingit Indians. In 1880, nearly 20 years before the gold rushes to the Klondike and Nome, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were lead to Gold Creek by Chief Kowee of the Auk Tribe. They found mother lode deposits upstream, staked their mining claims, and developed a 160 acre incorporated city they called Harrisburg, which brought many prospectors to the area. The City of Juneau was formed in 1900. The state capital was transferred from Sitka to Juneau in 1906 while Alaska was a U.S. Territory. The Treadwell and Ready Bullion mines across the channel on Douglas Island became world-scale mines, operating from 1882 to 1917. In 1916, the Alaska-Juneau gold mine was built on the mainland, and became the largest operation of its kind in the world. In 1917, a cave-in and flood closed the Treadwell mine on Douglas. It produced $66 million in gold in its 35 years of operation. Fishing, canneries, transportation and trading services, and a sawmill contributed to Juneau's growth through the early 1900s. The A-J Mine closed in 1944, after producing over $80 million in gold. In 1970, the City of Juneau and City of Douglas were unified into the City & Borough of Juneau.

Juneau Alaska Culture:
A federally recognized tribe is located in the community: Central Council Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska; Douglas Indian Association; Aukquan Traditional Council (not recognized). 16.6% of the population are Alaska Native or part Native. As the state capital, Juneau is supported largely by State and Federal employment, and by tourists cruising the Inside Passage. It is the third largest community in Alaska. About one-third of residents live downtown or on Douglas Island; the remaining two-thirds live elsewhere along the roaded area. Juneau has a Tlingit history with a strong historical influence from the early prospectors and boom town that grew around full-scale gold mining operations.

Juneau Alaska Facilities:
The municipal water supply is obtained from the Last Chance Basin well field on Gold Creek and the Salmon Creek Reservoir, and is treated and piped to over 90% of Juneau households. Juneau's water demand is 5 million gallons per day. The Borough is seeking funds to construct a million-gallon reservoir near South Lena Loop to serve the area north of Lena and Tee Harbor. The Borough's piped sewage system serves almost 80% of residents, and receives secondary treatment. Sludge is incinerated. North Douglas Island residents use individual septic tanks, and funds have been provided to begin planning a sewer main extension to this area. Refuse collection, the landfill and incinerator are owned by a private firm, Arrow Refuse. Juneau has a hazardous waste collection facility, and local organizations also provide recycling programs. Alaska Electric Light & Power Company receives the majority of its power from the state-owned Snettisham Hydroelectric Facility south of town. AEL&P owns the Annex Creek, Upper Salmon Creek and Lower Salmon Creek Hydro Plants, and the Gold Creek, Lemon Creek and Auke Bay Diesel back-up systems. The U.S. Geological Survey and AEL&P are collecting streamgaging data at Dorothy Lake for hydroelectric potential.

Electricity is provided by Alaska Electric Light & Power Company.

The State, City & Borough of Juneau, and federal agencies provide nearly 45% of the employment in the community. Juneau is home to State Legislators and their staff during the legislative session between January and May. Tourism is a significant contributor to the private sector economy during the summer months, providing a $130 million income and nearly 2,000 jobs. Over 683,000 passengers are expected to visit Juneau during 2001 from 539 cruise ship dockings, injecting over $80 million into the local economy. The Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau Icefield air tours, Tracy Arm Fjord Glacier, and the new Mount Roberts Tram are local attractions. Support services for logging and fish processing contribute to the economy. 519 residents hold commercial fishing permits. In 2000, the estimated gross fishing earnings of residents exceeded $10.4 million.
