This factor predetermined the constructionforest industry, and with it the village where the workers lived. The railway solved the main problem - forest transportation. The foundation of the settlement took place in 1962, when a detachment of 50 builders landed on the undeveloped territory of the future settlement. Initially, nine houses were built, a year later the number of residents of the Soviet settlement of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug numbered 1,5 thousand.
