Haines (Tlingit Deishu) can be described as a census-designated area in Haines Borough, Alaska. It is located in the Alaska Panhandle's northern portion, close to Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve. [3]

The 2020 census showed that the Haines CDP population was 1,657. [4] This is down from 1,713 in 2010.[5] Concentrating 79.6%, Haines Borough's total populace.

According to the Chilkat group, Tlingit, the original Native name for Haines is Deishu. This means \"end of trail\". They could transport their canoes along the trail that they used to trade with the interior. It started at the Chilkat River outlet and ended at Dtehshuh. This saved them 20 miles (32km) of rowing around Chilkat Peninsula.

George Dickinson was the first European to settle in Dtehshuh. He was an agent for North West Trading Company. The Chilkat requested Sheldon Jackson in 1881 to send missionaries into the region. Samuel Hall Young, a Presbyterian minister was sent. Jackson constructed the Chilkat Mission at Dtehshuh and the school there in 1881 on land donated by the Chilkat. In 1884, the Mission was renamed to \"Haines\" to honor Francina E. Haines (chairwoman of the committee that raised funds) [7]

The boundary between Canada, the United States and Canada was unclear and contested at the time. Due to the purchase by the United States of Alaska from Russia 1867, there were overlaps in land claims. There were also British claims along the coast.
