A scam to lure prospectors off the Klondike Gold Rush trail led to a town being developed there in 1898. The prospectors who believed the promotion found that they had been deceived. The town did not flourish until after the construction of the Richardson Highway in 1899, which connected Valdez and Fairbanks.
