Alaska (also known as Sheasville) was an unincorporated town in Morgan and Owen counties, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
A post office was established at Alaska in 1868, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1904.[1] The community was probably named in commemoration of the purchase of the Territory of Alaska.[2] [3]
