Yakutat

The Yakutat Borough extends across 9,463 square miles of southeastern Alaska, encompassing parts of Glacial Bay National Park and Tongass National Forest.

In 1805, Tlingit tribes removed a Russian trading fort from their territory after the settlers interfered with local fishing practices in the region.

The Yakutat Tlingit Tribe maintains programs in local schools to preserve their native language through structured teaching methods and community engagement.

Transportation to this administrative region relies primarily on Yakutat Airport, which provides scheduled airline services connecting to other Alaskan cities.

The borough records approximately 140 inches of annual rainfall distributed across 240 days, making it one of the wettest locations in the United States.
