Susitna Station is on the east bank of the Susitna River, about 2 miles downstream from the mouth of the Yentna River.
The 1890 U. S. Census said there were 147 people and 27 dwellings at Susitna. Shem Pete, a Dena'ina Elder said there were closer to 600-700 Indians at Susitna. That population was decimated around the turn of the century, by whooping cough, small pox, measles and tuberculosis. A few years later those that survived the first epidemics, were wiped out by the influenza epidemic of 1918. In the winter of 1918, Shem Pete said he and two other men were the only ones left to bury the dead at Susitna.
During it's population peak, there were quite a few businesses at Susitna Station, including at least two trading posts and a post office. It was the last source of supplies for prospectors heading into the Interior.

This photograph is on a post card. The back of the card says
the owner of the card traveled to Susitna Station on a boat called
the Swan, 56 miles (boat is in the photograph). It also says there were
approximately 25 log residences at
Susitna Station (unfortunately it does not say what year).
PROSPECTORS PURCHASED THEIR SUPPLIES
AT SUSITNA STATION
BEFORE THEIR JOURNEY UPRIVER

STATION
This post office was open from 1906 to 1943. On the right side of this photo is H. W. Nagley's General Store, which Mr. Nagley operated from 1908 to 1918 (he then opened a store in Talkeetna). When my husband was a boy (in the 1950's) his family stopped at the Susitna Station to explore. The river had eroded the bank to a great extent and the only thing still standing was Nagley's store (and it too was on the verge of falling into the river). They have fond memories of exploring the old store building which still had bales of tea, packed in lead foil, receipt books and other items that the Nagley family left behind.
THIS ALASKA COMMERCIAL COMPANY TRADING POST WAS BUILT IN ABOUT 1885
AT SUSITNA STATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This earliest
census record, for Susitna Station, is fairly complete, however, the person
who took down the information, not only spelled almost everything phonetically,
but made statistical notations right over the top of some of the entries,
making them nearly impossible to read. I did my best to transcribe the
record accurately, but there are (no doubt) errors here. Many people on this
census record only had one name (no surname).
