Sitka is located on the west coast of Baranof Island facing the Pacific Ocean, on Sitka Sound. An extinct volcano, Mount Edgecumbe, rises 3,200 feet above the village.
Sitka was originally inhabited
by the
Tlingits who called the village "Shee Atika." It was explored by the
Russian
Vitus Bering in 1741, and the site became "New Archangel" in 1799.
Alexander Baranof, manager of the Russian American company built a trading
post in this location . In a dispute, Tlingits burned down the fort and the
warehouse in 1802. In 1804, the Russians retaliated by destroying the
Tlingit Fort, in the Battle of Sitka. This was the last major stand by the
Tlingits against the Russians, and the Indians were driven out of the area
until about 1822.
By
1808, Sitka was the capital of Russian Alaska. Baranof was Governor from
1790 through 1818. During the mid-1800s, Sitka was the major port on
the north Pacific coast. Furs were the main export, but salmon, lumber
and ice were also exported. After the purchase of Alaska by the U.S. in
1867, it remained the capital of the Territory until 1906, when the seat of
government was moved to Juneau.
Today, Sitka is a non-Native community.
