Moose Pass

Historic 1912 dog-team mail station along Trail Lake in the Kenai Mountains.

The community was first named in 1912 as a station on the Alaska Railroad. The name is reportedly derived from a mail carrier's team of dogs that in 1903 had considerable trouble gaining the right-of-way from a moose. A post office was established in 1928.
