Palmer

Palmer is a city in and the borough seat of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, United States, located 42 miles northeast of Anchorage on the Glenn Highway in the Matanuska Valley. It is the ninth-largest city in Alaska, and forms part of the Anchorage Metropolitan Statistical Area.

With the backdrop of towering Pioneer and Twin Peaks and the surrounding Chugach Mountains, this agricultural community offers access to countless recreation opportunities in the Mat-Su Valley, just 40 miles north of Anchorage.


Born at the height of the Great Depression as part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal relief program to transplant struggling farmers from the Lower 48 to Alaska, Palmer is still known today for its agricultural roots. The town is famed for its 90-pound cabbages, seven-pound turnips, and other monster root vegetables, the result of the midnight sun that shines up to 20 hours a day during the summer.
