Welcome....

Delta Junction marks the true end of the Alaska Highway. From here, going north or south, you will be traveling on the Richardson Highway, which starts in Valdez and ends in Fairbanks. There is a large commemorative milepost at the visitor center to mark Mile 1422 of the Alaska Highway.

The Chisana Gold Rush of 1913 and Delta’s selection in 1920 as the home of the government’s buffalo importation program helped establish the town as a permanent settlement. The Bison were moved from Montana to a 90,000-acre tract of land, which now contains a free-roaming herd of more than 500 Bison. This led the area to become known as Buffalo Center. 

With a population of approximately 850, Delta Junction has all the amenities of a big town with a small-town feel.  Restaurants, shops and services are within walking distance or a short drive away.

Delta Junction is 98 miles from Fairbanks via the Richardson Highway, and 338 miles from Anchorage. Both cities are served by major airlines.
