Juneau is larger in area than both Rhode Island and Delaware, making it the second-largest municipality in the United States. The Alaska capital stretches along the Gastineau Channel in Southeast Alaska, taking its present city-borough form after Juneau merged with Douglas and the surrounding borough in 1970. It became the state capital in 1906, when Alaska’s government moved from Sitka.
