Thane, Juneau
Thane is a neighborhood in the City and Borough of Juneau in the U.S. state of Alaska. Located along Gastineau Channel, it begins one mile (1.6 km) south of downtown Juneau and consists of approximately two dozen houses spread over five miles (8 km). All the houses are located on Thane Road, which comes to a dead end about six miles (10 km) from downtown; there are no side streets. It was named for Bartlett L. Thane, Manager and Director of the Alaska-Gastineau Mining Company.
The only electric link for Juneau travels through Thane from the Snettisham hydroelectric dam. Avalanches knock out this power line somewhat routinely,〔()〕 forcing the local power company, Alaska Electric Light & Power, to keep a series of reserve diesel generators on standby.
==History==
Thane was founded in 1881 as a result of mining operations in the vicinity. Since World War II the population has steadily declined with the curtailment of mining activities. It is now a residential area (DeArmond, 1957, p43-44).〔
