Alaska in United States (US50)
Map of the United States with Alaska highlighted

Alaska is a huge state in the United States, located at the very northwest tip of North America. Even though it's the largest state by land area, it has one of the smallest populations. In 2020, about 733,391 people lived there. Alaska is so big that it's divided into 19 "organized boroughs" and one "Unorganized Borough." Think of boroughs like counties in other states. The Unorganized Borough is then split into 11 "census areas."

Alaska has 149 official cities. These cities cover only a small part of Alaska's total land, but most of the state's people live in them. Some cities are very large, like four "unified home rule municipalities" that are both boroughs and cities. Each of these is bigger than 1,700 square miles! Only two other cities are larger than 100 square miles: Unalaska, which has the important fishing port of Dutch Harbor, and Valdez, where the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System ends.

How Cities in Alaska Work

Cities in Alaska are grouped into two main types: "general law" cities and "home rule" cities. General law cities are then split into "first class" and "second class." Both general law and home rule cities have similar powers. They can make most laws as long as they don't go against state laws.

The jobs of local cities can be very different. They always have to do things like hold elections and have regular meetings. Home rule cities and first class cities in the unorganized areas must also run their own school districts and manage land use. In organized boroughs, the borough usually handles these tasks unless the city asks to do them. Unified home rule cities and other boroughs also collect property and sales taxes for their areas.

To become a home rule city, a community needs to set up a special group to write a plan, which then has to be approved by voters. Alaska law says a community must have at least 400 permanent residents to become a home rule or first class city. If a city's population drops below 400 later, it still keeps its status. For example, the city of Nenana and four first class cities (Hydaburg, Pelican, Seldovia, and Tanana) had fewer than 400 people in 2010 but kept their city status.

Alaska's Biggest and Smallest Cities

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska by population. It has about 291,247 residents, which is almost half of the state's total population! The smallest city by population is Kupreanof, with only 21 people.

When it comes to land area, Sitka is the largest city, covering about 2,870 square miles. On the other hand, Kiana is the smallest, at just 0.19 square miles. The very first city to become official in Alaska was Ketchikan in 1901. The newest city is Whale Pass, which became a city in 2017.
