The Soldotna tank, for the town that holds world-record water. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Soldotna vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Soldotna piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Built to hold its shape: a lightweight unisex tank in Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey with side seams and self-fabric binding. Retail fit, true to size for adults, tear-away label. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Soldotna was settled around 1947 by homesteaders, many of them veterans with homestead preference, as the highways reached the central Kenai Peninsula, one of the youngest towns in Alaska; it incorporated in 1967 and became the borough seat. The Kenaitze Dena’ina fished the river long before.

On May 17, 1985, Les Anderson landed a 97-pound-4-ounce king salmon from the glacier-fed turquoise Kenai River, a world record that still stands, and the town is headquarters of the 1.92-million-acre Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The Homestead Museum keeps the original cabins and the last territorial schoolhouse. The salmon capital on the Kenai is the mark on this piece.

All Soldotna Alaska Items

For such a young town, Soldotna takes good care of its history. The Soldotna Homestead Museum, in Centennial Park, gathers original pioneer cabins, the last Alaskan Territorial Schoolhouse, and a replica of the 1867 check that bought Alaska. The town's First Post Office is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the famous 'Plane on a Pole' still marks the highway. A short history, kept sharp.

Our Soldotna logo carries the Alaska bear above ‘Alaska Territory — Est. 1959,’ the shared retro emblem of our Alaska towns; the bear stands for the wild country pressing right up to the edge of town, and 1959 marks the year Alaska became a state. Rendered distressed in black-and-white, like a crate stamp or an outfitter's brand, it ties Soldotna to every other Alaska town we make. What makes this one Soldotna is the town behind the brand — the homesteaders, the Kenai River, and the world-record king.

Why People Visit Soldotna

Visitors come to Soldotna for the Kenai River and stay for everything around it — the salmon runs, the wildlife refuge, the homestead history, and an easy, river-centered pace. It is the natural base for the whole central Peninsula, with drift boats and fish camps along the water in summer and the northern lights overhead in winter. Active, welcoming, and built around its river, Soldotna rewards anyone drawn to the great Alaska outdoors in any season.
