Huslia

Huslia stands on the banks of the Koyukuk River at an elevation of 48 meters, surrounded by the expansive Alaskan wilderness and waterways.

The settlement first appeared in the United States Census of 1950 under the name Cutoff before officially becoming incorporated as Huslia in 1969.

The Koyukon Athabaskan people maintain their centuries-old traditions through hunting, fishing, and gathering activities that sustain the community throughout the year.

Transportation to Huslia requires careful planning as the city lacks road connections and relies entirely on air travel through its local airport.

The city functions as a checkpoint during the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, connecting modern sport activities with traditional Arctic transportation methods.
