Alaska Custom License Plates and Frames

Alaska is the most
extensive of the 50 United States. It is situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent,
with Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, with Russia
further west across the Bering Strait. Alaska is the 4th least populous and the least densely populated of the
50 United States. Approximately half of Alaska's 722,718 residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area.
Alaska was purchased from
Russia on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million ($113 million in today's dollars) at approximately two cents per acre
($4.74/km²). The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized (or incorporated)
territory on May 11, 1912 and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959. The name "Alaska" was already
introduced in the Russian colonial period.
