Early beginnings. Starting in 1902 the Alaska Central RR (ACR) was one of the three railroads that led to the building of the present day Alaska Railroad Corp. (ARRC). Starting at Seward the line went north 51 miles to Spencer. Located 13 miles south of Portage, Spencer was the point at which the ACR fell into receivership in 1909.
Alaska had a population of about 58,000 in 1916 when Wickersham, now Delegate to Congress, introduced Alaska's first statehood bill. It failed due to lack of interest on the part of Alaskans; not even President Harding's 1923 visit to the Territory could create sustained widespread interest in statehood.
