Native Alaskans have lived in the Fairbanks area for thousands of years. In 1901, E.T. Barnette set out to establish a trading post at Tanacross on the upper Tanana River. The Tanana is a wide, swift, glacial fed river but that year low water forced him to put in a few miles up one of its tributaries, the Chena.
