The town changed it's name to North Pole years ago in an attempt to lure toy manufacturers to the community and hopefully provide a source of income and revenue. It never happened but it has boosted tourism and there's even a place called "Santa Claus House", the town is decorated with a Christmas theme year round, and every year during the Christmas season the post office is overwhelmed with mail from around the world by people desiring mail with a post mark of North Pole, Alaska.
