Wasilla, Alaska:
Overview of Wasilla, Alaska
Located on the Alaska Railroad main line that runs between Anchorage and Fairbanks, Wasilla is about 45 miles north of Anchorage. It is situated between the Matanuska and Susitna valleys of south central Alaska. Automobile access is via the Parks Highway which, as does the railroad, connects Anchorage and Fairbanks. Wasilla history dates back only to 1917. At that time, the U.S. Government was offering town lots for sale prior to the construction of the Alaska Railroad, which was soon to come.

Wasilla Alaska History:
Wasilla was named after the respected local Dena'ina Indian, Chief Wasilla (also known as Chief Vasili). In the Dena'ina Athabascan Indian dialect, "Wasilla" is said to mean "breath of air." Other sources claim the Chief derived his name from the Russian language, and that "Vasili" is a variation of the Russian name "William." The town site was established in 1917 at the intersection of the Carle Wagon Road (now Wasilla-Fishhook Road) and the newly-constructed Alaska Railroad. It was a supply base for gold and coal mining in the region through World War II. The Matanuska-Susitna valley was settled by many Colony homesteaders in the 1930s. Construction of the George Parks Highway through Wasilla in the early 1970s provided direct access to Anchorage. This enabled families to live in Wasilla and commute to Anchorage for employment. The City was incorporated in 1974.
