City Motto: There's no place like Nome!
City History: Nome was inhabited by native indians
until the late 1890's when three Swede's found gold in the Anvil
Creek. Within a year the region boomed into a town and by 1901
Nome was incorporated as a city. Nome continued to swell with
residents to just above 12,000 until the late 1920's when the
gold rush was tapering off. Nome has continued to be the "Hub"
of supplies for northwestern Alaska. Oil and gas development,
as well as gold mining, continue to be the main area's of industry
for this little city. Tourism is constantly increasing here which
brings with it the need for more and more local native crafts.
Weather: You can expect temperatures of 45-55
degrees in the summer months in Nome. Winter's temp's are much
lower with averages of -5 to 10 above zero.
