- Snettisham,_Juneau abstract "Snettisham is a locale and former populated place in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska, United States. Based on the mainland coast of Stephens Passage, it is 31 miles (50 km) southeast of the city of Juneau. The area was named by George Vancouver in 1794; the bay on which Snettisham was located (Port Snettisham) was named for the town of Snettisham in England. It was established as a gold- and silver-mining camp around 1895, its operations being linked to those in the immediate Juneau area, and it remained a small harbor village until 1926. The United States Department of the Treasury designated Snettisham as one of several of Alaska's "special" landing places for vessels carrying "coal, salt, railroad iron, and other like items in bulk". The designation was meant to encourage the construction of facilities to accommodate these shipments, thus stimulating creation and growth of local businesses.Businesses in Snettisham included the Alaska-Snettisham Gold Mining Company, the Daisey Bell Mine, the Crystal Gold Mining Company, the Pacific Packing and Navigation Company, and a salmon cannery for the Taku Fishing Company (headquartered in Portland, Oregon). Snettisham produced the first paper pulp to be shipped out of Alaska in 1917.Snettisham had a post office from June 1900 to 1912. It was an intermediary office on a route from Juneau to Sumdum and received mail once a week. The route had expanded to Kake after 1902 but by 1905.The name was collected by the United States Geological Survey between 1976 and 1981, and entered into the Geographic Names Information System on March 31, 1981.".
