Discovering the Last Frontier

At the beginning of the New Year 1959, the 49th state of the United States became admitted as Alaska. She is named the last frontier for a reason. Alaska is a state that was originally a territory and had its history of turmoil. It is the last frontier of the Pacific Northwest and the continent of North America. Bordering neighbors are the territory of Yukon British Colombia and Russia. The state of Alaska is the largest in the union. The population of the state is just over 735,000. The main city is Anchorage, which is a metropolitan area populated by over 380,000 Alaskans. Life in Alaska is considered to be extreme as the winter is the longest in North America. There have been recording highs in temperature up to 100 back in 1915. Usually, it is very cold and freezing temperatures almost year round. It was not until the discoveries of certain resources that Alaska would be considered a territory worth purchasing. The United States realized its potential logging and fishing to be worth a 7.2 million dollar purchase from Russia in the year 1867. Since this time, being there have been major changes in the industries of Alaska. The discovery of various other resources that became extremely important after the industrial revolution brought a welcome change in the economy. Alaska would become the leading producer of oil in North America. Natural gas became another form of resource that to this very day is considered precious as well.

Jason Ewert – Palm Bay, Florida is Home

On the coast of Florida is the beautiful city of Palm Bay. This city was established in the 1920s. Historically there have been businesses that were in the area since the 1850s. It was called Tillman for a great number of years before it was renamed. The area started going through many renovations and geographical changes. These changes occurred on the swampy lands on the west side of Palm Bay. This was the start of the Melbourne-Tillman Drainage District. The canals that were made brought control flooding and brought the marshlands to agricultural conditions for planting crops. Citrus groves would become prosperous as they would be able to provide winter produce up the East Coast to its many northern neighbors and all up along the Atlantic. The official incorporation of the city of Palm day was in 1960. The area has many touristic attractions such as the Indian River Lagoon or Turkey Creek. There is an abundance of golfing courses available. Another great attraction is the streams all around the area that make great kayaking possible. There are also social events such as the annual food truck wars that take place in May every year. It is the opportunity for the local community to get together and try over 40 different gourmet food trucks that come from various parts of the country. The top of the competition is fierce but friendly.
