About
Anchorage
First
incorporated in 1920, Anchorage is still a young city. The median
age of 30 years and an aggressive style make it---not the capital
city of Juneau---the state's power center. Nearly everything was
built in the last few decades. An Anchorage home dating from the
1950s almost merits historic status. In addition to acting as
the center for oil development in the state, Anchorage hustles
its living as a government, banking, transportation, and communications
hub.
Anchorage residents are primarily from elsewhere in America---including
oil workers from such conservative oil-patch states as Oklahoma
and Texas---and the attitudes they bring have added fuel to the
fire of the conservative, pro-development mentality that characterizes
the city, and Alaska, as a whole. Although representing less than
8% of the population, Alaskan Native peoples add an important
cultural dimension. A growing Asian population is also having
an impact, with well-stocked Asian food stores and restaurants
an increasingly familiar sight.
