DELTA JUNCTION

Delta Junction -

The discovery of "gold" in Alaska, as well as the Yukon Territory in the early 1900's, brought an influx of people to this area. The increase of people, meant more travelers along the old Valdez Trail (now called the Richardson Highway). Roadhouses sprang up along the trail to provide respite for the traveler. Two of these roadhouses can be found in Delta. The Sullivan Roadhouse is now a walk-through museum that was moved from its original location across the Delta River. It is now located next to the Delta Visitors Center. Rika's is a restored roadhouse at Big Delta State Historical Park. It is located at the confluence of the Delta and Tanana Rivers where travelers once had to be ferried across the swift moving water. Bison are believed to be one of the most common large land animals in the state. Scientists believe that the last indigenous bison herd in the area died out about 500 years ago. In 1928 a herd of 23 bison were transplanted from the National Bison Range in Montana to then relatively uninhabited Delta Junction area. Conditions were so favorable for the bison that the herd grew to about 500 animals. Hunting, by special permit, has kept the recent number at about 375 to 450 animals. This could be why we have been referred to as "Buffalo Center."
