Alaska was permanently founded by Russians from 1799 to 1867. United States purchased Alaska in 1867 and made it a territory. In 1959 Alaska became the 49th state. Alaska is divided into boroughs rather than counties. There were no birth records kept until 1913 when territory wide registration of births began.  
Alaska statewide registration of births began in 1913 with general compliance by 1945.
