Fairbanks North Star Borough

The terrain of Fairbanks North Star Borough ranges from the Tanana River lowlands in its south to forested uplands and the White Mountains farther north, creating a broad Interior Alaska setting of rivers, boreal forest, and long winters. The Chena River runs through Fairbanks before joining the Tanana, and its valley concentrates the borough’s main communities, including Fairbanks and North Pole. Spruce woodland and wetlands dominate beyond the developed corridors, while summer daylight and deep winter cold define life at this latitude. The University of Alaska Fairbanks, founded in 1917, remains a major educational and research presence.
