HISTORY CLOSEST FREEWAYS: Highway SR-7 & the Alaska Marine Highway System APPROXIMATE POPULATION: 30,191 Joseph Juneau and Richard Harris were poking around in 1880 when they discovered gold in the area. Word of their secret spread like fire, putting gold hungry adventurers, store keeps, shady ladies, and card sharks hot on the trail to what would become known as Juneau. Gold mining died out in the 1940s but the fever was sparked again in the early 1990s. ADD YOUR EXPERIENCES Copyright© 1998-2012Wynmor Inc. with all rights reserved.
