And Captain Barnette Fairbanks founded in August 1901 to try to establish a trading post at Tanacross (where the Tanana River crossed the Valdez-Eagle trail.) But the ship was steam Barnette on board, the Lavelle Young, ran aground and was presented seven miles (11 km) to the Chena River. The smoke from steam engines attracted the search engines, and met Barnette where landed. Barnette prospectors convinced to establish its position trafficking. The city is named after Charles Fairbanks, a Republican senator from Indiana and later the 26 Vice-President of the United States, serving the second term of Theodore Roosevelt.
Felix Pedro discovered gold in the northeast of the city in July 1902 followed by a swarm of new residents. The federal Judge James Wickersham established government offices in Fairbanks next year, helping to consolidate the city as fast growth as a major center of activity in the interior of Alaska.
Tanana Valley is an important agricultural center in Alaska, and during early days of Fairbanks, near the city was an important producer of agricultural products. Despite the efforts of groups like the beginning of Alaska Tanana Valley League and the Association of the Faithful of Agriculture, and the editor of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, WF Thompson, promote food production, agriculture in the region has never been able to fully support the population, but has failed in the 1920's.

On September 13, 1992, 8 inches (20 cm) of snow fell on the city bending the trees still covered with autumn leaves. That September was also one of the most snow in the record 24 inches (61 cm) decreased, compared with an average of 2.2 inches for the month. Mean winter temperatures range from a minimum of 15 F (26.1 C) to 25 F (31.7 C), but extremes may range from 50 F (10 C) to 60 F (51.1 C). In summer, temperatures generally range between 70 ° F (21 C) and F 50 (10 C); Fairbanks does not save a 90 F (32 C) temperature between 1994 and 2009. The temperature highest recorded in Fairbanks was 96 F (36 C), the lowest was 62 F (52.2 C). The warmest year was 1981 in Fairbanks, where the average annual temperature was 32.0 F (0.0 C). The cold was 1956, which was lower on average by 21.3 F (5.9 C).
These extreme temperature range due to three main factors: temperature inversions, sunlight and wind direction. In winter, the location of low Fairbanks Tanana Valley makes the cold air to accumulate around of the city. Warm air rises to the top of the hills north of Fairbanks, while the city itself has one of the largest investments in temperature on Earth. Heating by sunlight is limited due to the high latitude Fairbanks location. In the winter solstice, Fairbanks experiments 3 hours and 43 minutes of sunlight. In the summer solstice Fairbanks receives 21 hours and 49 minutes of direct sunlight after sunset, the sunset is bright enough to permit the activities during the day. During winter, wind direction also changes the temperature in Fairbanks.

Along with the Chinook winds, above freezing temperatures often result.
In addition to the Chinook winds, Fairbanks experiences of a handful of other unusual weather conditions. In summer, the smoke from forest fires in the dense accumulation Tanana Valley, affecting the climate and causing health problems. When temperature inversions occur in winter, ice fog often results. Ice is fog occurs when air is too cold to absorb the extra moisture, as released by motor vehicles or human breath. Instead of dissipating, water freezes in microscopic crystals that are suspended in the air, creating fog. Fairbanks unusual weather event most notable is the prevalence of the aurora borealis, commonly known as auroras, which are visible on average 200 days per year in the vicinity of Fairbanks.
Since 1949 the average temperature in Fairbanks Winter 7.7 F (4.3 C), the average temperature of Spring 3.8 F (2.1 C) and average summer temperature of 2.3 F (1.3 C).
