History
As part of Russian America, Alaska used the Julian calendar and followed the same day of the week as Asia, using the date of the eastern hemisphere. In 1867, Alaska became a United States territory (through the Alaska Purchase) and began using the Gregorian calendar, aligning with the same day of the week as the Americas, using the date of the western hemisphere. The switch was achieved by repeating the same day of the week and skipping eleven days of the month instead of twelve during the 19th century, so that the purchase date of Friday, October 6 (Julian) was followed once again by Friday, October 18 (instead of Saturday, October 19 in Gregorian).[6] That change redrew the International Date Line from being east to west of the territory to realign itself from Asian to American dates, thus shifting it from the date of the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mcuwnkd5pk4rjjbp5mybzdho/bafkreigptonwv5633rvnalonlzquqfhb2ukxo5d7sqwg6zkxwarrxtx46a)
