Alaska Commercial Company (known as the Northern Commercial Company from 1901 to 1992) acquired the assets of the Russian-American Company in 1867; then in 1887, an ACC subsidiary was formed to breed blue foxes on Chirikof.
From 1901 to 1992, it was known as the Northern Commercial Company (NCC). After the 1867 purchase of Alaska by the United States, the firm of Hutchison, Kohl & Company, including Hayward Hutchison, William Kohl, and Louis Sloss, bought the Russian-American Company.
