Kennecott Copper Corporation, On Copper River & Northwestern Railroad, Kennicott, Valdez-Cordova Census Area, AK
Summary
Significance: Kennecott's significance lies in its quality, as well as quantity, of high grade ore. The mine also illustrates the history of world and U.S. copper between 1907 and 1938. The rise and decline of Kennecott copper brought a parallel pattern in Alaska's mineral production. It also illustrates a chapter in American economic and business history: the discovery of one of the world's richest copper deposits which led to the development of one of the world's greatest copper conglomerates.
