The City and Borough of Sitka (Tlingit:Sheetʼká), formerly New Arkhangelsk, or New Archangel under Russian rule (Russian:Ново-Архангельск or Новоaрхангельск, tNovoarkhangelsk), is a unified city-borough located on Baranof Island and the southern half of Chichagof Island in the Alexander Archipelago of the Pacific Ocean (part of the Alaska Panhandle), in the U.S. state of Alaska. As of the 2010 census, the population was 8,881. In terms of land area, it is the largest city-borough in the U.S., with a land area of 2,870.3mi2 (7,434.1km2) and a total area (including water area) of 4,811.4mi2 (12,460.8km2). Urban Sitka, the part that is usually thought of as the "city" of Sitka, is situated on the west side of Baranof Island.
The current name Sitka (derived from Sheet’ká, a contraction of the TlingitShee At'iká) means "People on the Outside of Baranof Island", whose Tlingit name is Sheet’-ká X'áat'l (here contracted to Shee).
History
Sitka's location was originally settled by the Tlingit people over 10,000 years ago. The Russians settled Old Sitka in 1799, calling it Redoubt Saint Michael (Russian:форт Архангела Михаила, tFort Arkhangela Mikhaila). The governor of Russian America, Alexander Baranov, arrived under the auspices of the Russian-American Company, a colonial trading company chartered by tsarPaul I. In June 1802, Tlingit warriors destroyed the original settlement, killing many of the Russians, with only a few managing to escape. Baranov was forced to levy 10,000 rubles in ransom for the safe return of the surviving settlers.
Although it had been occupied for over ten thousand years by indigenous peoples, from the 18th century onward, European powers considered the territory of Alaska ripe for exploitation and trade. The United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2million U.S. dollars at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km2). The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912. It was admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.
In today’s vlog we’re exploring the Southeast Alaska town of Sitka. Beautiful weather and even more gorgeous scenery greeted us in this picturesque seaside town. With islands dotting the coast, mountains rising above, and a ton of history, it’s easy to see why this quickly became my new favorite town in Alaska!
Things we saw in Sitka:
Castle Hill
Sitka National Historical Park
Downtown Shopping. So many great stores, but I LOVED The Cellar.
Drove up Harbor Mountain Road
Whale Park
Pizza at the Campfire Pizza Kitchen located in Harbor Mountain Brewing Co.
Now, Sherri and I need to plan a trip to Sitka together!

Sitka Alaska,
Welcome to Sitka Alaska;
This past summer Darlene and I took the grandkids and spent a week in the quaint little town of Sitka Alaska. This is where I lived from the age of 11 until I left town at 21. I did a ton of growing up here. For me this was a great place to live during those years. I have been back a few times since I originally left in the mid 70's. Sitka has not changed a whole lot in all the years since I moved away. Sure, there are a few new buildings in town, a few new people as well, but the little town of Sitka still has that small, southeastern Alaska feel I remember. If you're planning a trip into this part of Alaska, make sure to put Sitka on your list of stops.

Welcome to Sitka Alaska;
This past summer Darlene and I took the grandkids and spent a week in the quaint little town of Sitka Alaska. This is where I lived from the age of 11 until I left town at 21. I did a ton of growing up here. For me this was a great place to live during those years. I have been back a few times since I originally left in the mid 70's. Sitka has not changed a whole lot in all the years since I moved away. Sure, there are a few new buildings in town, a few new people as well, but the little town of Sitka still has that small, southeastern Alaska feel I remember. If you're planning a trip into this part of Alaska, make sure to put Sitka on your list of stops.

In this video, we'll see top things to do and best places to visit in Sitka, Alaska. Nestled along Alaska's rugged coastline, Sitka stands as a captivating gem that harmonizes nature's grandeur with a rich cultural heritage, attracting travelers with its distinctive allure. This city is famous for its historical significance as the former capital of Russian America and the site of the Alaska Purchase transfer ceremony, both of which contribute to its unique identity.
While some might question the cost, Sitka's experience can vary to accommodate different budgets, ensuring that its beauty is accessible to all. Discover the best places to visit, from the historic Russian Bishop's House to the tranquil beauty of Sitka National Historical Park. Explore beyond the city limits to uncover the wild wonders of the Tongass National Forest and surrounding islands.
Sitka's charm lies not just in its attractions, but in the spectrum of activities it offers. From fishing and kayaking in its pristine waters to exploring the Russian Orthodox architecture, the city is a medley of enriching experiences. This dynamic atmosphere, combined with its natural splendor, truly makes Sitka a destination worth visiting.
The city's romantic ambiance makes it an ideal spot for couples seeking connection amidst stunning surroundings. Stroll along the picturesque Crescent Harbor, savor seafood delicacies at popular restaurants, and immerse yourselves in the city's tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere. As you explore, you might wonder about Sitka's popularity and whether it gets crowded. While it's a touristy spot, its remote location ensures that it maintains an intimate feel without feeling overwhelmingly crowded.
For those contemplating how to spend 4 days in Sitka, the city offers a mix of experiences that highlight its history, nature, and local culture. Whether you're seeking family-friendly activities or looking for a serene weekend escape, Sitka presents a tapestry of options to create an enriching experience.
From the echoes of its Russian heritage to the untouched landscapes of its surrounding islands, Sitka captures the essence of Alaskan allure. Whether you're immersing yourself in Tlingit art, observing sea lions in their natural habitat, or simply embracing the serene waterfront views, this city promises an unforgettable journey that embodies the best of Alaska's history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.

In today’s vlog we’re exploring the Southeast Alaska town of Sitka. Beautiful weather and even more gorgeous scenery greeted us in this picturesque seaside town. With islands dotting the coast, mountains rising above, and a ton of history, it’s easy to see why this quickly became my new favorite town in Alaska!
Things we saw in Sitka:
Castle Hill
Sitka National Historical Park
Downtown Shopping. So many great stores, but I LOVED The Cellar.
Drove up Harbor Mountain Road
Whale Park
Pizza at the Campfire Pizza Kitchen located in Harbor Mountain Brewing Co.
Now, Sherri and I need to plan a trip to Sitka together!

First up, we'll visit the Sitka National Historical Park, where you can learn about the Tlingit people who have lived in the area for thousands of years. Then, we'll take you to the Bishop's House, a historic Russian colonial building that now serves as a museum.
Next, we'll head to the Sheldon Jackson Museum, the oldest museum in Alaska, to see its impressive collection of Native Alaskan artifacts. And if you're a wildlife lover, you won't want to miss Sitka Sound Tours, where you can spot humpback whales, sea lions, otters, and more.

Welcome to Sitka Alaska;
This past summer Darlene and I took the grandkids and spent a week in the quaint little town of Sitka Alaska. This is where I lived from the age of 11 until I left town at 21. I did a ton of growing up here. For me this was a great place to live during those years. I have been back a few times since I originally left in the mid 70's. Sitka has not changed a whole lot in all the years since I moved away. Sure, there are a few new buildings in town, a few new people as well, but the little town of Sitka still has that small, southeastern Alaska feel I remember. If you're planning a trip into this part of Alaska, make sure to put Sitka on your list of stops.

The City and Borough of Sitka (Tlingit:Sheetʼká), formerly New Arkhangelsk, or New Archangel under Russian rule (Russian:Ново-Архангельск or Новоaрхангельск, tNovoarkhangelsk), is a unified city-borough located on Baranof Island and the southern half of Chichagof Island in the Alexander Archipelago of the Pacific Ocean (part of the Alaska Panhandle), in the U.S. state of Alaska. As of the 2010 census, the population was 8,881. In terms of land area, it is the largest city-borough in the U.S., with a land area of 2,870.3mi2 (7,434.1km2) and a total area (including water area) of 4,811.4mi2 (12,460.8km2). Urban Sitka, the part that is usually thought of as the "city" of Sitka, is situated on the west side of Baranof Island.
The current name Sitka (derived from Sheet’ká, a contraction of the TlingitShee At'iká) means "People on the Outside of Baranof Island", whose Tlingit name is Sheet’-ká X'áat'l (here contracted to Shee).
History
Sitka's location was originally settled by the Tlingit people over 10,000 years ago. The Russians settled Old Sitka in 1799, calling it Redoubt Saint Michael (Russian:форт Архангела Михаила, tFort Arkhangela Mikhaila). The governor of Russian America, Alexander Baranov, arrived under the auspices of the Russian-American Company, a colonial trading company chartered by tsarPaul I. In June 1802, Tlingit warriors destroyed the original settlement, killing many of the Russians, with only a few managing to escape. Baranov was forced to levy 10,000 rubles in ransom for the safe return of the surviving settlers.
