Alaska Movers Will Help You Continue North to the Future and Beyond
Welcome to the last American frontier: Alaska. Now the largest U.S. state by a landslide, Alaska was originally purchased from the Russian Empire in 1867 for a whopping $7.2 million. The name Alaska is taken from a Russian word, which borrowed from an Aleut word meaning “object towards which the action of the sea is directed.” Alaska has had a long and passionate relationship with the sea. The Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Bering Strait all bend to kiss its shoreline. In fact, the state of Alaska boasts a longer coastline than all other U.S. states combined. Water and ocean culture has long been a steady staple of Alaskan life. When you’re looking to leave your watermark on this largest of states, the experienced Alaska movers from American Van Lines will carve out the canoe to get you and all of your personal possessions to the frontier town of your choosing.
Alaska Local Movers from American Van Lines Settle You into the “Last Frontier”
Alaska’s official statehood was proclaimed on January 3rd, 1959 after a long political battle beginning as early as 1946. As a state, Alaska instantly set records above and beyond the states of the “Lower 48.” Beyond being the largest state by far, the “Last Frontier” is uniquely positioned enough to earn the title of the country’s northernmost, westernmost and – paradoxically – easternmost state. Alaska is more than just a gigantic body filling space between Canada and the ocean. It also consists of a series of islands that stretch out into the Eastern hemisphere. At American Van Lines, we understand that moving is more than just one big body of movers and boxes. It’s also about the services that stretch out from your first conception of moving to the very end, when you’re all settled in.
