TOK

Tok - Tok Chamber of Commerce -

Welcome to Tok. We are pleased that you have chosen to spend some time in our small community. Last count our residents number 1415 and our elevation is 1635â. We are the trade center for the Athabascan Native villages of Northway, Tetlin, Tanacross, Mentasta, Eagle and Dot Lake. Local Native arts and crafts may be found in many of our gift shops. Tok originated as an Alaska Road Commission camp for the construction of the Alcan and Glenn Highways in the 1940's. To discover how Tok got its name, stop by the Main Street Visitors Center. You will be surprised. Tok was designated a Main Street Townsite in 1946, the same year the Alcan was open to civilians, and a roadhouse was opened in the community.
