==The Klondike Gold Rush==
   −
When gold was discovered in the Klondike region, it prompted a gold rush similar to one in California in 1849.
+
In the late 19th century, gold was discovered in Alaska, sparking a gold rush now called the Klondike gold rush. The main gold strike that fueled the gold rush in the interior was that of Felix Pedro. The gold rush brought the initial rise in Alaska’s population, which has continued to rise steadily over the years. During and following the gold rush communities in Alaska were established. Fairbanks was one of these communities. Many gold rush towns were later deserted, becoming “Ghost towns.” The rise in population, however, remained, and Alaska soon had several small cities.
