History[edit]

Nyandoma was founded in 1896 as a settlement in the area of ​​the Nyandoma railway station on the newly built railway between Vologda and Arkhangelsk. [2] Railroad traffic was opened in 1898. [10] At that time, Nyandoma was part of the Kargopol district of the Olonets province. On July 15, 1929, the counties were abolished, the provinces became part of the Northern Territory, and the Nyandoma region was formed. It became part of the Nyandoma district, one of five in the Northern Territory. [11]Nyandoma served as the administrative center of the Nyandoma district. In 1930, the district was abolished, and the area was subordinated to the central administration of the Northern Territory. In 1936, the region was transformed into the Northern Region. In 1937, the Northern region was divided into Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions, and Nyandoma was transferred to the Arkhangelsk region. The village received city status in 1939 [ edit

Railway heritage

Nyandoma is located in the southwestern part of the Arkhangelsk region. The endless Nyandoma Upland stretches around. Its conventional borders are the Onega and Northern Dvina rivers. The glacier brought with it a huge amount of sand and clay and from this material built long ridges stretching from north to south. The heights here are small - up to 250 meters. This is the kingdom of the taiga.

Nyandoma is a station of the same name on the Konosha – Arkhangelsk railway line. The distance from Moscow is 790 km, from Arkhangelsk – 342 km. Since 2006, the settlement officially has the status of a regional center. It is curious that the entire city is divided into conventional districts, each of which has a “folk” name. There is “Vinegar Village”, “Tangshai”, “Fabrichny” and others.

Section 3. Location, climate and fauna of the area

The territory where the city of Nyandoma was built just over 100 years ago does not indulge its residents with favorable climatic conditions. The average temperature in winter is -17°C, and in summer the thermometer very rarely rises above +16°C. By the way, natural anomalies are also inherent in this area. Scientists studying the climate of this region claim that over the past 50 years, the maximum temperature recorded here was +32°C, the minimum -41°C. At the same time, precipitation falls quite often. In the warm season and in the off-season there is rain, in winter there is heavy snowfall.

The fauna of the area, especially considering where the city of Nyandoma is located, is very diverse, although it is still recommended to divide it into two categories: wild and urban fauna. In the vicinity of the settlement you can easily see brown bears, foxes, moose, squirrels, beavers, and wolves. But within the city limits there is a huge variety of birds, among which the most common are crows, sparrows, bullfinches and pigeons.

Section 5. Pages of local history

In the place where Nyandoma is located now, for quite a long time there were prerequisites for the construction of a comfortable settlement. Why? The railway, which was actively under construction, was in dire need of a permanent and reliable transport hub. This is how the station was built, which at that time was considered temporary. Gradually, dugouts and temporary huts of various designs began to be built around it.

Initially, in order for even a medium-sized settlement to arise in these parts, it was necessary to cut down the forest. This problem was partially solved during the construction of the railway; later the workers themselves cleared the areas that were uninhabited at that time. By the autumn of 1839, the laying of the rails was completed, after which local residents immediately began building the station itself and the church.

The progress didn't stop there. And literally 10 years later, the Arkhangelsk region as a whole, and the city of Nyandoma in particular, were transformed. The telegraph appeared first, and a little later the telephone. And in the settlement itself there is an inn, a school, sewing workshops, taverns, bakeries, bakeries and even a pub. Public transport in Nyandoma has been operating since 1960, and its number is increasing noticeably from year to year.

Even in difficult years for Russia, the city not only did not lose its identity, but also continued to develop. Now industry has improved, new schools and kindergartens have appeared and continue to be built, which means that the number of the local population is not decreasing from year to year.

Section 6. City coat of arms

If you think about where the city of Nyandoma is located, the photo of the coat of arms seems quite logical. Three pine trees of different sizes, symbolizing the almost untouched centuries-old nature of the region, and a black wheel with silver edges, as if once again reminding us that this is still a railway city, and the wheel has always been an emblem of movement and development in Rus'.
