Message from Valerie Stimac of Valerie & Valise

Delta Junction, located in Alaska, is a small city known as the "Crossroads of Alaska." With a population of around 918 people, it sits at the confluence of the Delta River and Tanana River, about 160 km south of Fairbanks. Originally a telegraph station, it gained importance during World War II as the end point of the Alaska Highway. Over the years, it saw economic booms from military bases, pipeline construction, and mining activities. Today, it's a mix of farming, tourism, and a growing immigrant population from former Soviet republics, shaping its unique identity in the Alaskan landscape.
