Chicken Airport

Chicken Airport


Chicken is a census-designated place (CDP) located in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska, U.S., at the 2000 census the population was 17.

History

Chicken was settled by gold miners in the late 1800s and in 1902 the local post office was established requiring a community name. Due to the prevalence of ptarmigan in the area that name was suggested as the official name for the new community, however, the spelling could not be agreed on and Chicken was used to avoid embarrassment. A portion of Chicken, with buildings from the early 1900s, is on the National Register of Historical Places.
