The first European claim to Alaska was based upon explorations by Vitus Bering in 1741. The first European settlement, also Russian, was founded in 1784. Alaska was purchased from Russia by the United States in 1871 and was governed as an unofficial territory from 1884. Alaska received official Territorial status in 1912, and became a State in 3 January 1959.
