Located on Cape Prince of Wales, at the tip of the Seward Peninsula, Wales is the most northwestern inhabited town on the continent. For the record, Wales was home to a reindeer farm in 1894 and had about 500 inhabitants at the beginning of the 20th century because it is located on the whale migration route. However, the Spanish flu decimated the population. Today, its 149 inhabitants live on a subsistence economy, based on fishing, hunting and gathering, some artisanal and mining activities. A Birnirk burial mound (ancestor of the Inuit who lived from 500 to 900 BC) has been discovered in Wales.
