Delta Junction - Current Highlights
Welcome to the City of Delta Junction website.
You will find extensive information here about city
government, but also useful information about the
community.
The aboriginal inhabitants of the Delta area lived along the
Tanana River, north of the present town. The community of
Big Delta came into being just east of the junction of the Delta
River and the Tanana River. A ferry there brought
travelers across the Tanana.
With the coming of the Alaska Highway during WWII, a
community grew up at the junction of the Richardson Highway and
the new Alaska or AlCan Highway. That community is now the
City of Delta Junction.
Today Delta Junction is a vibrant and friendly community with
an economic center near the junction of the highways, but
stretching far to the east and adjoining the US Army Fort Greely
community to the south.
