The Old Sitka Site was the site of the early Russian-American Company settlement Redoubt St. Archangel Michael (Russian: форт Архангела Михаила, r "Fort Arkhangela Mikhaila") near present-day Sitka, Alaska. The site was established in 1799 and destroyed in an attack by the Tlingit people in 1802. Although the Russians resettled the area, they did so where Sitka is located. The site is now part of the Old Sitka State Historical Park.
