Explore Ketchikan, Alaska in an RVshare RV Rental
Ketchikan got its start as a city in the late 1800s when a man named Snow started a salmon saltery. Shortly thereafter, a salmon cannery was established, drawing nearly 800 residents to the area. Within 20 years, the town of Ketchikan became a thriving settlement, salmon fishery, and hub for trade with recognized potential for mining and prospecting endeavors. By 1900, Ketchikan was officially incorporated and turned to mining as one of its primary enterprises. However, with the rise of the local timber industry, mining was significantly reduced during the 1950s and is now a virtually obsolete source of revenue.
Due to a global upswing in travel and the decline of once-thriving industries, the first city in the Aleutian Islands has transformed into a must-experience tourist destination, and tourism is now Ketchikan's main industry.
The island's deep roots to native tribes and its dense concentration of traditional totems at the Totem Bight State Historical Park and the Saxman Totem Park increase the city's appeal as an area of significant cultural interest.
Ketchikan is also known as the Salmon Capital of the World for its world-class fishing expeditions, and incredible summer salmon runs, which can be viewed from several historic bridges throughout the city.
