Alaska is known for its frigid temperatures and stunning natural scenery. One of the coldest cities in the state's Interior region is Fairbanks. This city has approximately 32,000 residents within its limits and nearly 100,000 residents in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, which includes portions of the surrounding area. After Anchorage, this borough is the second most populous in the state. It sits almost 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle and has a cold, snowy climate for much of the year. The city typically reaches its snow-pack level by mid-October and can get over 100 inches of snow per year.
Members of the Native American tribe, the Athabascan, have used this area for many years, although the frigid temperatures prevented them from residing here year-round. European settlers established Fairbanks just after the turn of the 20th century, establishing a trading post and mining for gold. The city's name comes from Charles W. Fairbanks, a vice president who served under Teddy Roosevelt.
Sports are a significant part of the city's culture as fans can cheer on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks, a men's hockey team, the Fair Banks Ice Dogs, a junior hockey team, and the Alaska Goldpanners, a semi-pro baseball team. The Yukon Quest, a 1,000-mile international dogsled race, also takes place in the city each year. Every June, the city hosts the Yukon 800 speedboat race.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks campus is in the city, which serves as the flagship location for the University of Alaska educational system. Approximately 6,800 students attend this public university, including nearly 1,000 postgraduates.
Fairbanks offers access to outdoor recreation, stunning natural surroundings, and modern amenities, including high-end shopping and dining.
