Welcome

Welcome to Wrangell – the last best place in Alaska! Our island community is a friendly frontier town nestled in the heart of Southeast Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. Visitors will be met with unprecedented beauty and the kindness people around.

Discover the grandeur of the Stikine River, our majestic snowcapped mountains bordering British Columbia, the abundant fish and wildlife, calving glaciers, and adventure of a lifetime – we are the Alaska you have always imagined.

In addition to our unique natural beauty, Wrangell is also a community open for business. We are actively seeking diversification and growth of our economy and we are committed to providing assistance and support for new or expanding businesses. Seafood processing, tourism, and wood products manufacturing are our primary economic industries.

Our Economic Development Department will work with interested businesses to answer questions, identify needs and provide necessary permitting or other assistance to any expansion or start-up project. I, the Borough Assembly and the Chamber of Commerce strongly support efforts to aid businesses willing to commit to Wrangell.
