A city located almost in the center of the state of Alaska in the United States. It is located on the banks of the Chena River, a tributary of the Tanana River. It is the terminus of the Alaska Highway and the Alaska Railroad, and is a mining and transportation center. The population increased during the Gold Rush in 1902, reaching 8,000 by 1906, and gold production reached $9 million.

Nearby are the Warrenright Army and Air Force Base and the Eielson Air Force Base. It is connected to Anchorage by the Alaska Railroad, and has an international airport. The University of Alaska (founded in 1917), located in the northwest college, specializes in mining and geophysics. Population 30,843 (1990). Fairbanks |
