The Denali Borough, gateway to Denali National Park, is located 250 miles north of Anchorage, and 110 miles south of Fairbanks. The Borough represents the best of Alaska: over 12,000 square miles (8.2 million acres) of extraordinary scenic and wild country, the highest mountain on the continent (Mt. McKinley, 20,320 feet), extensive and productive natural resources, a diverse economy and approximately 1,893 residents.The Denali Borough was formed in 1990 and contains four communities, Anderson, Clear, Cantwell, Healy and a number of smaller settlements.
Anderson: located forty miles north of the Borough seat, the City of Anderson was incorporated in 1962.
Clear: the Clear Air Station is located 5 miles from Anderson, and employs most of its residents. The entrance to the Clear Air Station is located 3 miles from the main highway and gated for security. The small community known as Clear is located along the George Parks Highway at milepost 280 and encompasses residential homes and businesses.
Cantwell: Cantwell, with a population of 222, is located 40 miles south of the Borough seat. In the winter Cantwell becomes a fantasyland for snowmachiners and ice fisherman alike. The wide-open tundra covered with deep snow makes this a winter playground.
Healy: The largest community and the Borough seat, Healy is located on the George Parks Highway, the Borough's major north-south highway corridor. Healy has the largest population with almost 1000 permanent residents.
Denali National Park and McKinley Village: Seventeen miles south of the Borough seat lies the community of McKinley Village and Denali National Park. There are approximately 200 year-round residents, which reside within a 19-mile stretch of the George Parks Highway. The largest concentration of households is in the Village View Subdivision.
