Salcha Summary

Salcha is a small unincorporated community located in the Fairbanks North Star Borough of Alaska. It is situated on the banks of the Salcha River, approximately 40 miles southeast of Fairbanks. The population of Salcha was estimated to be 545 in 2020.

History

The area around Salcha has been inhabited by the Athabascan people for thousands of years. The first non-native settlers arrived in the area in the late 1800s, and the community was officially established in 1902. The name Salcha is derived from the Athabascan word for “sandy river”.
The early settlers of Salcha were primarily miners and trappers, and the community was largely isolated until the Alaska Railroad was built in 1923. The railroad brought new settlers to the area, and the community began to grow.
In the 1950s, the U.S. Army built a missile launch site near Salcha, which brought new jobs and economic opportunities to the area. The launch site was decommissioned in the 1970s, but the economic impact of the military presence is still felt in the community today.

Geography

Salcha is located in the Tanana Valley, which is part of the Interior of Alaska. The Tanana Valley is a large, flat area surrounded by mountains. The Salcha River runs through the valley, and the community is situated on its banks.
The climate in Salcha is subarctic, with cold winters and mild summers. The average temperature in January is -15°F, and the average temperature in July is 65°F. The area receives an average of 16 inches of precipitation per year.
