Is Anchorage a City or a Borough? Does It Matter?
In 1975, the City of Anchorage and the Greater Anchorage Area Borough united into what we now know as the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA). We’re celebrating the milestone in 2025 to empower involvement in local government and inspire our neighbors to imagine what is possible in our next fifty years.
In this edition of History Takes, a retelling of our first 50 years with perspectives from notable neighbors on topics that shape our local government, MOA Chief Administrative Officer Bill Falsey explores our history as a government of service areas. Enjoy!

Malaynee serves as a civilian maintenance generalist at the Alaska Air National Guard’s 168th Wing, an Arctic air refueling unit stationed at Eielson Air Force Base, responsible for operations ranging from aerial refueling to missile warning and space surveillance. Her role involves everything from plumbing and structural upkeep to heating-system maintenance and building operations.
