The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
Located 7 miles east-southeast of Anchorage; Cook Inlet Lowlands.
Name of a suburb of Anchorage obtained in 1961 by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); the village was incorporated in 1958 with a population of 8 (Rand McNally, 1961, p. 57) so that the residents could buy $1.98 worth of surplus road equipment. The population had dwindled to one resident by 1973. (Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, 4/24/73, p2)
