The village of Evansville, Alaska was settled in the late 1940s when Wilfred Evans, Sr. and his brother-in-law Frank Tobuk relocated their families to the area from Alatna, Alaska, to take advantage of the economic opportunities presented when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) built an airfield and communications facility. Evansville is located at the foot of the Brooks Mountain Range.  Evansville Village »»
