Delta Junction in Detail.

About

On the E side of the Delta River, 9 mi SSE of its confluence with the Tanana River at Big Delta, Alaska Range.

History

Established as a road construction camp about 1919, but has developed into a fairly large village in recent years primarily because of its strategic locality at the junction of two major highways. It was originally called "Buffalo Center" because it is near the site of the winter range for a herd of American bison established in 1927.
