The trading settlement and the island were named after the archangel [[Michael (archangel)|Michael]]. [[Fort St. Michael]], a U.S. military post, was established in 1897. During the [[Klondike Gold Rush|gold rush of 1897]], it was a major gateway to the Alaskan interior via the [[Yukon River]] Delta (located about 40 miles to the southwest). As many as 10,000 persons were said to live in St. Michael during the gold rush. St. Michael was also a popular trading post for Alaska Natives to trade their goods for Western supplies. Centralization of many Yup'iks from the surrounding villages intensified after the measles epidemic of 1900 and the influenza epidemic of 1918.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090304043242/http://www.kawerak.org/tribalHomePages/stMichael/index.html HISTORY ] retrieved Dec 14, 2012</ref> St. Michael's population today is largely Yup'ik. Many residents are also descendants of the Russian traders. ==Economy== The St. Michael economy is based on subsistence food harvests (hunting, fishing and gardening) supplemented by part-time wage earning. Most wage-earning positions are in city government, the IRA council and village corporation, schools and local stores. Some residents hold commercial fishing permits, primarily for the herring fishery. ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== {{commons category|position=left}} {{Nome Census Area, Alaska}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Saint Michael, Alaska}} [[Category:Cities in Alaska]] [[Category:Cities in Nome Census Area, Alaska]] [[Category:Populated coastal places in Alaska]] [[Category:Populated places established in 1833]]'
