| Contextual Notes | Circle is located on the left bank of the Yukon River, 130 miles northeast of Fairbanks. It was a mining supply town established in 1887 when L.N. McQuesten located a trading post there. It was so named because the village was thought to be on the Arctic circle. The population was 41 in 1967. (pg. 219) Notes from Donald Orth, Dictionary of Alaska Place Names: Geological Survey Professional Paper 567 (Washington: United States Government Printing Office, 1967)
