Background
New Russia (Russian: ÐовоÑоÑÑийÑк; also called Novarassi, Slavarassi, Slavorossiya (Russian: СлавоÑоÑÑиÑ), Yakutat Colony, and Yakutat Settlement) was a trading-post for furs and a penal colony established by Russians in 1796 in present-day Yakutat Borough, Alaska, United States. It was presumably named after the Joseph Billings ship Slava Rossii, or "Glory of Russia". The post was attacked and destroyed by Tlingit people in 1805 during the Russo-Tlingit War of 1802-1805. The 7 buildings inside a stockade, and 5 buildings outside, were burnt in 1805, and the site was never again occupied. The events at New Russia represent a pivotal moment in Russian-Tlingit relations.
