Accessible by boat or plane only, the town of Sitka Alaska, with a population of just under ten thousand, sits on Sitka Sound, at the western side of Baranof Island.
Originally named Shee Atika by the Tlingit Indians and later settled by Russian fur traders, Sitka gained its place in American History when in 1867 it hosted the transfer ceremony of Alaska from Russian to American hands.
In Sitka is the 107-acre Sitka National Historical Park, Alaska's oldest federally designated park. It preserves the site of a Tlingit Indian Fort and the battle fought between the Russians and the Tlingits in 1804.
Other points of interest include St. Michael's Cathedral topped by Russian-styled onion-shaped golden domes, the Southeast Alaska Indian Cultural Center, the Russian Bishop's House which is the oldest intact Russian building in Sitka.
Hotels and motels in Sitka offer clean affordable accommodations. Reservation in advance is recommended for the crowded summer months.
