Our Wrangell logo carries Alaska's distressed bear, drawn in worn black and white above ‘Est. 1959,’ the year of statehood — the shared retro emblem of our Alaska towns. The bear stands for the wilderness and the toughness it takes to live in it, and the rugged crate-stamp styling makes the design feel like something off an old cannery label or an outfitter's crate. The bear and the date are the through-line that links Wrangell to every other Alaska town we make; what makes this one Wrangell is everything around it — the three flags, the Stikine River, the totems, and the carvings on the beach.
Today Wrangell is the quiet one — a working Alaska town the big ships mostly pass by, which is exactly its charm. Its days run on tides and salmon: jet-boat trips up the wild Stikine, low-tide walks among the petroglyphs, totems on Shakes Island, and bears at Anan in season. Our Wrangell designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Three flags, one river town.
Why People Visit Wrangell
Wrangell rewards the off-the-path traveler. It pairs living Tlingit culture with easy reach of the Stikine and bear country, and you can see totems, petroglyphs, and a working harbor in a single walkable day. It feels authentic, green, and quietly adventurous — an Alaska town that stayed itself — with year-round appeal in its trails, parks, and waterfront.
