Alaska was called "Russian America" because it was colonized and administered by Russia from the late 18th century until the mid-19th century. The Russian Empire established settlements and fur trading posts in the region, primarily for the lucrative fur trade, particularly sea otters. In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia, ending its status as Russian America. The term is still used historically to reference this period of Russian influence in the area.
