Fairbanks North Star Borough
What is a "Borough?" In Alaska, the word "borough" is used instead of "county." Similar to counties, boroughs are administrative divisions of the state. The FNSB includes the City of Fairbanks and the City of North Pole. (Each city has its own elected Mayor and elected Council Members)

Borough History
Fairbanks was founded in 1903, long before Alaska was purchased from Russia. Statehood happened in 1959 and the Fairbanks North Star Borough was incorporated on January 1st, 1964.
Our Mission
As a community, there are values that define us, that give us motivation and meaning.

Serve
"To serve others through act or action."

Lead
"To lead at the front, giving an example for others to follow."

Thrive
"To grow, flourish, and thrive—prospering in all conditions."

Our Challenge
These are the values that define us. They guide our interactions at the store, in school, at work, and with our families. Our challenge to ourselves and to the community is to serve, lead, and thrive today!
