  • 1794 Missionaries, including St. Herman of Alaska, arrive at Kodiak Island, bringing Orthodoxy to Russian Alaska.
  • 1864 First Orthodox parish established on American soil in New Orleans, Louisiana, by Greeks.
  • 1867 Alaska purchased by the United States from Russia.
  • 1868 First Russian parish established in US territory in San Francisco, California.
