Delta Junction and Ukraine

By icefogger

Delta Junction is a town that lies approximately 90 miles east of Fairbanks. The northern end of the Alaska Highway is at Delta Junction.

Many would be surprised to hear that of all towns in the United States, Delta Junction has the highest percentage of Ukrainians. 16.4% of residents were born in Ukraine, and an even higher percentage have Ukrainian ancestry.

I have quite a few customers coming in from Delta Junction, and there have been a lot of very concerned people from Delta.

  Wow, so 16% are recent immigrants and were themselves born in Ukraine?
