Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska. As of 2020, its population was 291,247. Anchorage is a unified home rule municipality created in 1975 through the unification of the governments of the City of Anchorage and the Greater Anchorage Area Borough, making Anchorage one of the largest municipalities in the nation in terms of square mileage. It encompasses nearly 1,955 square miles from Eklutna in the north to Girdwood and Portage in the south.[1]

City government

In this form of municipal government, the city council serves as the city's primary legislative body and the mayor serves as the city's chief executive.
