It is located on the north bank of the Bolshoy Nimnyr River, where the river is crossed by the highway to Yakutsk. The Amur–Yakutsk Mainline railway also crosses the river close by; the railway station is located about 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) to the north.
History
It was founded in 1929 as a service point on the road being built toward Yakutsk.[citation needed] It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1973[citation needed] but was demoted back to a rural locality on June 16, 2005.[2] The now abolished rural locality of Maly Nimnyr (lit. Lesser Nimnyr), abandoned in 1997 due to the high cost of supplies and infrastructure, is located nearby.[7]
