Ringwald Blix and his wife Frances ran a road house in Copper Center in the early 1900s. Ringwald was born in Norway in 1872, and Frances was born in Missouri in 1872. By 1920, Ringwald and Frances were living in Seattle, living on 15th Avenue Northwest in Ballard. Ringwald Blix died in 1948 in Seattle. Copper Center is a village on the Klutina River, 1 mile west of its junction with Cooper Creek and 66 miles northeast of Valdez. A trading post was located here about 1896. The village was established as a mining camp when about 300 prospectors wintered here in 1898-99. With the establishment of a telegraph station by the U.S. Army Signal Corps about 1901, and being on the Fairbanks-Valdez trail, the village became the principal settlement and supply center in the Nelchina-Susitna Region.
