Small amounts of Russians settled in Alaska during the early 19th century, mostly fur trappers from Siberia. It was not populated very much (except by indigenous) until after it was purchased by the US in 1867 and gold was discovered some time later.

The Russians first came to Alaska in 1741 led by Vitus Bering. They established fur trading posts along the coast in the 18th century. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States in the Alaska Purchase.
