Alaska was a small, unincorporated community located in Fayette County, West Virginia. An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's usually managed by the county.
This community was given its name after the Alaska Territory. This means people chose the name "Alaska" to honor or remember the distant territory, which later became the state of Alaska.
