Alaska (also known as Sheasville) was an unincorporated town in Morgan and Owen counties, in the U.S. state of Indiana. [1]
A post office was established at Alaska in 1868, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1904. [2] The community was probably named in commemoration of the purchase of the Territory of Alaska. [3] [4]
...so it was in the news when the post office was named Alaska.
