Palmer

Palmer lies along the Matanuska River in south-central Alaska’s Matanuska Valley, where glacial soils and a broad valley floor have made agriculture central to local life. The community developed from the federally sponsored Matanuska Colony of 1935, which brought farming families north during the New Deal. Each late summer, Palmer hosts the Alaska State Fair, while Pioneer Peak and the Chugach Mountains form a constant presence beyond the valley.
