The approval to start building the highway came on February 11, 1942, but construction did not begin until March. The main purpose of building the Alaskan Highway was the defense and resupply of the Alaska Skyway, a string of World War II airfields that dotted the Alaskan coast.
The highway is named for James William Dalton, an Arctic engineer involved in early oil exploration efforts on the North Slope of Alaska. It was built as a haul road between the Yukon River and Prudhoe Bay during construction of the Trans-Alaska pipeline, and was originally called the North Slope Haul Road.
