- Chisana City is a ghost town located in the Chisana River valley in Alaska, United States. It was established in 1913 after the discovery of gold in the area. At its peak, the town had around 700 residents and a number of businesses, including stores, hotels, saloons, and a post office. However, the gold deposits soon depleted, and by the 1930s, most of the residents had left the town. Today, Chisana City is a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts who come to explore the remnants of the once-thriving gold rush town.
