History
The area now known as Skagway Municipality has been inhabited for thousands of years by the Tlingit people. The first Europeans to explore the area were the Spanish, who arrived in 1774. The area was later explored by the British and Russians, who established trading posts in the area.
In the late 19th century, the area became a major hub for the Klondike Gold Rush. Thousands of prospectors and adventurers flocked to the area in search of gold. The town of Skagway was founded in 1897 and quickly became the gateway to the gold fields of the Yukon. The town was a wild and lawless place, and was known as the “Badlands of Alaska”.
In 1900, the White Pass and Yukon Route railway was completed, connecting Skagway to Whitehorse, Yukon. This allowed for the transportation of goods and people to and from the gold fields. The railway was a major factor in the growth of the town, and it remains in operation today.
In the early 20th century, the town of Skagway was incorporated as a municipality. The municipality was later expanded to include the surrounding communities of Dyea, Haines, and Hoonah.
