Foundation of the village

In 1954, a new forest plot was opened on the territory now called Staraya Nyagan. 30 workers moved here along with their families. They cleared the area, set up a tent, and began building dormitories, schools, and bathhouses. As logging volumes grew rapidly, in 1965 a new logging settlement, Nyakh, was created, housing and cultural and everyday life facilities were built. The following year, the Nyagan timber industry enterprise was founded, where a railway was built a little later. In 1966, the Nyagan Timber Industry Enterprise was organized, which was engaged in logging, which was rafted down the river in the summer and transported along the winter road in winter. Mining of resin was also carried out.

In 1978, the Krasnoleninsk oil and gas exploration expedition began working in the village. It carried out deep drilling in the region in search of oil and gas. By 1979, the population of Nyagan increased to 4,600 people. Soon, industrial oil was found in the region in the open Krasnoleninsky arch of the field.

Historical reference

Nyagan its history back to the distant 30s. The first to appear in our area were the three families of the Khaimazov brothers, Khanty by nationality. In the summer they fished, lived near the river in yurts, and in the winter in wooden houses. At the same time, the first special settlers began to appear here: the Zykovs, Kuznetsovs, Starikovs, Slobodskovs, Cherkashins, Yakovlevs and others. Like the Khanty, they took up fishing and hunting, gradually settling in these places. In 1954, the Oktyabrsky Timber Industry Enterprise opened a new forest plot. On June 20, under the leadership of the head of the logging station, L.N. Dedyukhin. A full complement of workers from the former Lyulyukarsky logging station in the Berezovsky district unloaded onto the bank of the Nyagan River. 30 workers arrived with their families, bringing five horses with them. First, they cleared the shore of bushes, set up tents, then marked out future streets with clearings, and immediately built a dormitory for 60 people, a bathhouse, a bakery, and a school. The walls of the houses were coated with blue Belogorsk clay from the banks of our river. This is how the village arose, which we now call Staraya Nyaganya. Loggers cut down the forest, transported it on horseback to the banks of the Nyagan River (along a pole road in the summer, along an “ice road” in the winter), and floated it further downstream from there. The volume of timber harvesting began to grow, and the logging station had to be expanded. On March 4, 1965, a new landing force landed - now they were construction workers who arrived from the village of Bolshoi Atlym. Since that time, the construction of a village began, which was named Nyakh. Construction began with housing and social and cultural facilities. The head of the Nyagan construction and installation site was Vasily Nikolaevich Makarov, it was he who hammered the first peg for the foundation of the village. On October 1, 1966, the Nyagan Timber Industry Enterprise was founded. The first leader was Boris Aleksandrovich Sokolov. The main types of production were: logging, removal, bucking of wood, production of lumber, and extraction of resin. On January 6, 1967, the Nyakhyn Rural Council of Workers' Deputies was formed. Klyapov Petr Pavlovich was elected the first chairman. The Nyakhyn Village Council included the village of Sergino, the village of Un-Yugan, and the Chulchamy station. In 1971, these settlements were separated, leaving the village of Nyakh and the village of Nyagan. Already in May 1967, the village acquired new streets: Zheleznodorozhnaya, Pochtovaya, Yubileynaya, Stroiteley. On April 2, 1967, the railway reached Nyagan and the first train, which consisted of one carriage, passed along it. In 1978, the Krasnoleninsk oil and gas exploration expedition was formed under the leadership of Ivan Fedorovich Morozov. The main task of the Krasnoleninsk oil and gas exploration deep drilling expedition was deep drilling for oil and gas in the areas of the Middle Ob region. In the same year, the expedition installed three drilling rigs and began mining on two of them. Soon, commercial oil was found in the area of ​​cluster No. 101. Since then, the leading industry has been the oil industry. The Krasnoleninsky arch of deposits discovered here is unique in its geological structure and in the quality of natural resources in the depths of the earth. In 1980, a construction organization appeared in the village - the construction and installation trust "Priuralneftegazstroy". In 1982, the Ministry of Oil Industry entrusted the Urayneftegaz Production Association with the task of developing the nearby giant Krasnoleninskoye oil and gas condensate field. NGDU Krasnoleninskneftegaz, created to solve this problem, began to rapidly increase production volumes and was soon transformed into an independent production association Krasnoleninskneftegaz. The village of Nyakh became the base center for the exploration and development of the Krasnoleninskoye oil and gas field. With the development of oil and gas fields on the territory of Nyagan, another industry appeared - road construction. As part of a single national economic complex, in exchange for Tyumen oil, the Uztyumendorstroy trust under the leadership of R.I. Raimkulov undertook to build roads and build bridges in Nyagan. The first landing of Uzbek road workers arrived in Nyagan in July 1980. On August 15, 1985, on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, the working village of Nyakh was classified as a city of district subordination and was given the name Nyagan city . By the time it received city status, the First Microdistrict had risen, in which there were several shops, a library, a post office, a telegraph office, and a hairdresser. By this time, 2.4 million tons of oil are already being produced, and 31 thousand people live in the city. With the development of industry, railway transport developed, and freight and passenger turnover increased. Work began on the construction of a runway and aircraft reception facilities. The airport has been operating since 1993. There are regular flights to Moscow, Tyumen, Khanty-Mansiysk and other cities.

Oil production center

In 1979, a construction trust and an oil production enterprise were created in the village, which is still the city-forming enterprise, which began to develop the Krasnoleninskoye oil and gas condensate field, with huge hydrocarbon reserves. Nyakh has become the base for enterprises involved in field development. In 1982, a production association was organized. Labor resources from all regions of the country were attracted to work in oil production. In 1985, the village of Nyakh became the city of Nyagan.

By 1989, the population of Nyagan increased more than 10 times, at which time there were 54,061 residents in the village. The village grew quickly, new microdistricts were built, and the territory was improved.

The collapse of the Soviet Union had virtually no effect on Nyagan; only the owner of the oil production enterprise changed, which became owned by TNK, and since 2014, Rosneft. In the period from 1998 to 2010, the population of the city of Nyagan fluctuated slightly - it either increased or decreased, mainly due to natural reasons. In subsequent years, the number of residents increases, reaching 57,765 people in 2022.
