| Law and Government |
| Anchorage was carefully laid out by city planners
in 1914, originally as a railroad construction port for the
Alaska Railroad, and in 1915, the first sales of town lots were
held. In 1920, the United States government relinquished its
direct control over the city, and elections were held. Anchorage
was incorporated on August 15, 1938. Growth began in the 1940s,
with the construction of Elmendorf Air Force Base and Fort Richardson,
which made Anchorage a major defense center. After Alaska became
a state, Anchorage faced a severe housing shortage, which was
solved partially by suburban expansion. |
