    Located in interior Alaska, the city of Fairbanks was founded in 1903 as a trading post after gold was found in the area. Today, nicknamed the Golden Heart of Alaska, Fairbanks and the surrounding area are home to more than 80,000 people with numerous species of migratory birds passing through or stopping every year.
