Srednekolymsk (Russian: Среднеколы́мск; Sakha: Орто Халыма) is a town and the administrative center of Srednekolymsky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located 1,485 kilometers (923 mi) northeast of Yakutsk on the left bank of the Kolyma River. Population: 3,525 (2010 Census);[4] 3,587 (2002 Census);[7] 4,489 (1989 Census).[8]
History
When the Russians arrived in the 1640s, they built three forts on the Kolyma: Nizhnekolymsk, Srednekolymsk, and Verkhnekolymsk (lower, middle and upper Kolymsk). They were about three days sled journey apart. Nizhnekolymsk was on the delta near the route to Anadyrsk. Srednekolymsk was at the head of navigation by seagoing koches, in forested country for good fur trapping and on the overland route to the Indigirka River. Verkhnekolymsk was smaller and upriver. The first fort (ostrog) was founded by Mikhail Stadukhin in 1643.[citation needed] Some say that this was Nizhnekolymsk, but Fisher[9] thinks that the original fort was Srednekolymsk and that the main Russian center was moved to Nizhnekolymsk by 1655 when the Anadyrsk route became important.
At some point the name was Yarmanka, from the Russian word for "fair", referring to the annual gatherings of indigenous inhabitants of the area here in spring. The settlement grew over the next century, and was granted town status and its present name (meaning "town on the middle Kolyma") in 1775.[citation needed] In Imperial times, the town was a destination for political exiles.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Srendekolymsk serves as the administrative center of Srednekolymsky District.[1] As an inhabited locality, Srednekolymsk is classified as a town under district jurisdiction.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with the selo of Lobuya, incorporated within Srednekolymsky District as the Town of Srednekolymsk.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Srednekolymsk is incorporated within Srednekolymsky Municipal District as Srednekolymsk Urban Settlement.[2]
Economy and infrastructure
The town is largely reliant on farming of reindeer, hunting for pelts, and fishing.
Transportation
The town is served by the Srednekolymsk Airport (IATA: SEK).
Climate
Srednekolymsk has a dry subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc/Dfd) with mild, sometimes hot, even very hot, but short summers and extremely brutal winters with almost no snowfall. The winter lasts from October until May and temperatures rise rapidly enough for Siberian larch trees to be able to grow during the fleeting summer, before falling rapidly again in August and September. Temperatures often do not exceed 0 °C (32 °F) between late September and early May.
