The City and
Borough of Juneau is a unified municipality
located on the Gastineau Channel on the
Alexander Archipelago in the U.S. state of
Alaska, and is the state capital. The
municipality unified in 1970 when the City
of Juneau merged with the City of Douglas
and the surrounding borough to form the
current home rule municipality.
The city, Alaska's third-largest in terms of
population (after Anchorage and Fairbanks),
is nestled at the base of Mount Juneau and
across the channel from Douglas Island. As
of the 2000 census, the City and Borough had
a population of 30,711. The U.S. Census
Bureau's 2004 population estimate for the
City and Borough was 31,118.
Juneau was named after gold prospector Joe
Juneau. The Tlingit name of the town is
Dzántik'i Héeni "river where the flounders
gather", and Auke Bay just north of Juneau
proper is called Aak'w "little lake" in
Tlingit. The Taku River just south of Juneau
was named after the cold t'aakh wind that
blows down from the mountains, and is the
source of some of Juneau's more unpleasant
weather.
