Alaska Day commemorates the October 18, 1867 transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States, negotiated by Secretary of State William Seward for $7.2 million. Once mocked as “Seward’s Folly,” the territory proved strategically and economically invaluable. Today, Sitka hosts ceremonies honoring this pivotal moment in American expansion.
