The Valdez-Fairbanks Trail was built in 1899 as a gold field access trail, navigable only on foot. It was upgraded to handle sleds and wagons through the first decade of the 20th century, when it was renamed the Richardson Highway after General Wilds P. Richardson, who oversaw the upgrade. It was further upgraded for motor vehicles in the 1920s.
