  Rich in history, Chitina is nestled at the edge of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park,
        surrounded by spectacular mountains and roaring rivers.

 Chitina began in the early 1900's as a
       supply town for the Kennicott Mine and Copper River Northwestern Railway. When copper
prices began to decline, Chitina became a ghost town. 

   The Chitina Historical Society is working towards listing
 Chitina on the National Register.
