The area around downtown Wasilla was known to the Dena'ina as <span title="Tanaina-language text"><i lang="tfn">Benteh</i></span>, which translates as "among the lakes". Near the mouth of the Matanuska River, the town of Knik was settled about 1880. In 1900, the Willow Creek Mining District was established to the north and Knik thrived as a mining settlement.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg/220px-Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg/330px-Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg/440px-Knik_town_site_cabin.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5152" data-file-height="3864" /></a><figcaption>Cabin at the <a href="/wiki/Knik_Site" title="Knik Site">Knik Site</a></figcaption></figure> <p>In 1917, the U.S. government planned the <a href="/wiki/Alaska_Railroad" title="Alaska Railroad">Alaska Railroad</a> to intersect the Carle Wagon Road (present Wasilla-Fishhook Road) which connected Knik and the mines.<sup id="cite_ref-chamber_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chamber-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Local businesses and residents rushed to buy land nearby, and Knik declined.
