On July 22, 1902, Felix Pedro discovered gold twelve miles north of town, in an area now referred to as Pedro's Dome. Fairbanks wasn't even a town then, but it grew as a result of that very important discovery. Today we enjoy a week long celebration commemorating Felix and his discovery, we call it "Golden Days".
