Nome is a city in the US state of Alaska with about 3,800 inhabitants. The Inuit region has always been used as a hunting ground, but without a permanent settlement. It was not until the end of the 19th century when gold was found near the present Nome, that a settlement soon developed. However, large fires and violent storms destroyed the gold mining architecture of the city, of which nothing is left today.
