Palmer began in 1916 as a railway station on the Matanuska branch of the Alaska Railroad. In 1935, during the Great Depression, the United States government created an agricultural colony in Alaska. 203 families, mostly from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, arrived in the summer of 1935. The failure rate was high, but many of their descendants still live in the area. Construction of the statewide road system and the rapid development of Anchorage has fueled growth around Palmer. Many Palmer residents commute to work in Anchorage. These days, Palmer is most noted in Alaska as the location of the annual Alaska State Fair, an event in the early fall known for its record-setting giant cabbages, among other attractions.

“The agent you connected to us was very helpful and was very good at staying in touch with us. He sent us all kinds of "stuff" about the location to which we might have been transferred.
