Welcome to Alaska ...Although we found mention of Alaska during our research, we have little information about it.<1> Given the context of how Alaska was mentioned, we believe that it was a community rather than a locale or some type of landmark. We have done a cursory search and if it was a community, we haven't been able to find any evidence that it still exists.. While we are confident that Alaska was located in Mineral County, we don't know its actual location within the county. We've added Alaska to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Alaska - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Alaska, please Contact Us. When the people of Alaska refer to themselves (known as a demonym), they frequently use Alaskan<2> Time Zone: The area where we believe that Alaska might be (or was) located is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT) and observes daylight saving time We believe that Alaska would be found within the (304) and (681)<3> area codes. Communities Also Named Alaska ...Using our Gazetteer, we have found that there are two West Virginia communities named Alaska: This one is located in Mineral County and the other is located in Fayette County. Beyond West Virginia, there are 10 communities that are also named Alaska - they are located in Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania (2), Prince Edward Island and Wisconsin (2). For more information, see our Tidbits & Trivia Page for Alaska. Adding Alaska to Our Gazetteer ...Our notes show that the earliest dated mention that we've found for Alaska was in the Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).
