Kasaan, Alaska
Kasaan (Haida: ''Gasa'áan''; Tlingit: ''Kasa'aan'') is a city in the Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska. The population was 39 at the 2000 census. The name "Kasaan" comes from Tlingit ''kasa'aan'', meaning "pretty town".
==History==
Kasaan is one of the main historical communities of the Kaigani Haida. Residents moved from their former village on Skowl Arm, now called Old Kasaan, starting in 1893 and mostly in the period 1902-1904. This migration was prompted by the promise of jobs and a school occasioned by development of copper mining and a cannery near the present location. Kasaan was established as a city in 1976.〔(2008 Alaska Community Directory ), Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development: Division of Community & Regional Affairs, January 2008, p. 104.
