Alaska was purchased from Russia in the late 19th century for the purposes of exploration. It is the 49th state of the union.
The Permanent Fund Dividend is the anual payout of the dividends of the Permanent Fund. The Permanent Fund is a state-invested fund that receives moneys from the oil companies drilling and doing exploration within the state of Alaska. This allows all the citizens of Alaska to benefit from the oil exploration.

When the exploration of the "New World" the most famous exploits are those of the Europeans. The British explored and acquired Canada. However, from the other side, the Russians explored and laid claim to the region of Alaska. Alaska was then later bought by the United States.
Exploration and colonization by Russians was made as far South as San Francisco. All of Alaska, at least its coastline, the Aleutians and Washington and Oregon were areas that had seen some trading and exploration by Russia prior to 1812.
I'd say the first person to explore Alaska was Captain Cook. Of course, there have been travelers between the Alaskan coast and Russia for ages, so naturally some earlier exploration occurred, but Captain Cook's is the first that is well documented and with a true goal of exploration.
