History

It was founded in 1667 as a winter settlement connected to Mangazeya. In 1930 it was designated the administrative center of the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets National Region. In 1935, the polar explorer Otto Schmidt recommended that the settlement be expanded into a town. By 1937, the port facilities and a railroad to Norilsk were completed. Town status was granted in 1951.

In the 1940s and 1950s deported Finns and Soviet Germans were buried in the Lighthouse cemetery. In the 1990s two crosses were erected there in their memory.
