The Iditarod Trail was a trail used to transport goods that ran from Seward, passed through Iditarod, then ended in Nome. Iditarod was named after the Iditarod River. In the early 1900s, it saw a boom due to gold mining. After the gold was exhausted, the town became a ghost town.
In the early 1900s the Iditarod trail was used to bring serum to Nome.
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was created in 1973.
