Geography

It is located on the north bank of the Bolshoy Nimnyr River, where the river is crossed by the highway to Yakutsk. The Amur–Yakutsk Mainline railway also crosses the river close by; the railway station is located about 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) to the north.

History

It was founded in 1929 as a service point on the road being built toward Yakutsk. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1973 but was demoted back to a rural locality on June 16, 2005.[2] The now abolished rural locality of Maly Nimnyr (lit. Lesser Nimnyr), abandoned in 1997 due to the high cost of supplies and infrastructure, is located nearby.[7]
