Sitka
Capital of Alaska. Baranof built a fort there in 1799, which he
named Archangel Gabriel. It was captured by the natives in 1802, and
recaptured by the Russians two years later. The same year, another fort
was built near by, which was called Archangel Michael. The town which
grew up about it was known as New Archangel, or Sitka. The latter name
is of native origin, and the meaning is unknown. =Bib.=: McCormick,
Geographic Dictionary of Alaska.
