Haines Junction is a village located at Kilometre 1,632 (historical mile 1016) of the Alaska Highway, Yukon, Canada.
The current town of Haines Junction was established in 1942 and 1943 during the construction of the Alaska Highway. In 1943 a second highway, the Haines Highway, was built to connect the Alaska Highway with the coastal town of Haines, Alaska over the Chilkat Pass. Situated at the junction of these two highways, Haines Junction was a construction camp and a supply and service centre for the US Army Corps building the highway.
It is home to the most photographed church in Canada :) :) so i felt i should add to the statistics.
