- Beaver
- Unincorporated Populated Place
- population 101, on N bank of Yukon River, 17 mi. NE of mouth of Beaver Creek and 60 mi. SW of Fort Yukon, Yukon Flats.
- Eskimo and Indian village originally established about 1906 as a river landing. About 1911 Alaska Road Commission (ARC) built a trail from the "Chandalar diggins" to the Yukon River here. With the expectation of much travel and town growth a town site was staked and many cabins built. The "Chandalar quartz" did not prove productive and the place reverted to a "native village" with a post office, established in 1913, and trading post to serve the Yukon in that area. Its population was 103 in 1930; 88 in 1939; and 101 in 1950.
