When the United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867, the company was sold to San Francisco merchants Lewis Gerstle and Louis Sloss and was renamed the Alaska Commercial Company.

According to some records after the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, there seemed to be some dispute regarding the true owners of the ACC.

1901

However, in 1901, because of increasing competition in the sealskin trade, the Alaska Commercial Company merged with the International Mercantile Marine Company and Alaska Goldfields Ltd., to form two new companies.

1922

In 1922, the assets of the Alaska Commercial Company, in actual name the Northern Commercial Company, were sold once more to a new corporation of the same name organized by a group of long-time employees, moving the headquarters from San Francisco to Seattle.

1977

In 1977, the Northern Commercial Company itself reached the stage of liquidation selling off various segments of its business to other interests.

1992

In 1992, the company was purchased by The North West Company (NWC) from then owner The Commercial Enterprise Development Corporation of Alaska.
