From the website:
In 1881, the Committee on Town Laws voted for a new name for the town of Juneau. "Juneau City" won the vote overruling "Harrisburg" and "Rockwell." In 1882, the change was officially made by the U.S. Post Office Department, which dropped the word "City" making the official name "Juneau."
The City of Juneau was incorporated and became Alaska's state capital in 1900.
In 1881, the town of Douglas was established as a mining community. Prior to that time, Douglas had also been referred to as "Edwardsville," presumably after an early resident and miner H.H. Edwards.
The "City of Douglas" was incorporated in 1902.
