History

Nagayevo was a predecessor of the present day city of

. It was founded in 1929 on the shore of Nagayev Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk as part of a plan for the establishment of an East Even Cultural Base (Восточно-Эвенская культбаза). Among the structures built, there were three residential buildings, a school, a veterinary station, a hospital, a bathhouse and a boarding school. It rapidly grew, and in 1930 it was granted urban-type settlement status. In 1931, it became the administrative center of Okhotsk-Evenk National Okrug. The East Even Cultural Base was disbanded in 1931, but the Kamchatka Joint-Stock Company (AKO) erected a building. More ships entered the harbor and the area continued developing, paving the way for modern Magadan. Some of the East Even Cultural Base buildings survived well into the 1980s.Magadan - History of the development and formation of the city
