About Port of Juneau
Located on the Gastineau Channel in Southeast Alaska, Juneau is a significant port for cruise ships and ferries. It handles passengers and general cargo, serving as a vital transportation hub for the Alaskan capital.
Background
Juneau, officially the City and Borough of Juneau, is the capital of the U.S. state of Alaska, located along the Gastineau Channel in Southeast Alaska. Juneau was named the capital of Alaska in 1906, when the government of what was then the District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. On July 1, 1970, the City of Juneau merged with the City of Douglas and the surrounding Greater Juneau Borough to form the current consolidated city-borough, which ranks as the second-largest municipality in the United States by area and is larger than both Rhode Island and Delaware.Current Conditions
