origin of name

There are several versions of the origin of the name "Urengoy". According to one version, it comes from the words "Ure" and "Ngo".

There are versions according to which the word “Urengoy” means “bald hill”, “hill overgrown with yellow grass”, “hill overgrown with larches suitable for plague poles”.

Story

Novy Urengoy, whose population lives in such difficult climatic conditions, appeared on the map in 1973. But before that, there was the village of Urengoy, not far from which a gas field was discovered in 1966. Locality existed since 1949, the builders of the railway from Salekhard to Igarka lived in it. However, with the death of Stalin, this project stalled, and for some time the houses stood uninhabited. Then geologists settled in dilapidated barracks. And only with the beginning of the development of the field, the population begins to increase.

The first inhabitants of the new city were its builders, who set up a camp 100 km from the village of Urengoy and called it "New Urengoy". First of all, the workers carried out gas heating, and then began to build the first multi-storey buildings. Then a power plant, a bakery appeared, an airport was built in a year, and a railway line reached from Surgut two years later. In 1978, commercial gas production began. Large volumes of extraction of "blue fuel" ensured the rapid development of Novy Urengoy.

Already in 1980, the settlement received the official status of the city. In 1981, the city was awarded the title of the All-Union Komsomol construction site, many young people from all over the country came here. In 1983, the Urengoy - Pomary - Uzhgorod gas pipeline was launched, which opened the way for Russian gas to Western Europe. In the 90s, private capital began to invest in the region, and this had a positive effect on the development of the city. In 2004, the city "swallowed" the villages of Korotchaevo and Limbyakha. Since that time, Novy Urengoy has become the longest city in the world - its length is more than 80 km.
