Alaska Commercial Company

The Alaska Commercial Company was founded shortly after the purchase of Alaska in 1867. Beginning as the Russian-American Company, the company assets were purchased by Hayward M. Hutchinson, William Kohl, and Associates, who then formed the Hutchinson, Kohl & Company. In 1868 the company was reorganized as the Alaska Commercial Company. The company, in its various permutations, played a singularly important part in the history of Alaska with trading stations scattered throughout southwestern, south-central and southeastern Alaska as well as northern Alaskan Islands.
