Nadym (Russian: Нады́м) is a town in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located on the Nadym River. Population: 46,611 (2010 Census);[3] 45,943 (2002 Census);[6] 52,586 (1989 Census).[7]

Etymology

The origin of the town's name is unknown. One of the most likely versions is that it derives from the Nenets word nyaidem, which translates into English as "mossy place".

History

First mention of the city's name appears at the end of the 16th Century. The name "Nadym" appeared on Russian maps from the end of 17th Century, and the river Nadym was noted in published form at the turn of the 17th and 18th Centuries in the "Drawing Book of Siberia" by Russian geographer, cartographer and topographer, SU Remezov and sons, composed in 1699 — 1701. On the map of Tobolsk province of 1802, Nadym already was marked as having a significant population. Today it's located 32 kilometers from the mouth of the river Nadym, referred to as Nadym mound.

In 1929, it was founded as a reindeer farm called "Nadym" on the right bank of the river Nadym. However, in 1934 the farm was disbanded and turned into a factory.

In the fall of 1967, it was chosen as the reference framework for the development of a regional gas bearing deposit. Surrounded by numerous lakes, the village situated on an elevated dry place was chosen for a runway for the airline industry. Relatively small, 12 kilometers away from the river Nadym, whence it was named after, by the 1950s - 1960s, the village began to be called "New Nadym".

In parallel to its accelerated pace of development, the gas company created Bear City, with the intention of becoming a social and cultural center of the Tyumen North. In August of 1971, Nadym held a groundbreaking ceremony for its first major building and on March 9, 1972 by decree of the Soviet First Secretary the industrial community Nadym was incorporated within the Nadymsky Municipal District as Nadym Urban Settlement.[2]

Economy

The main enterprise of the town is Nadymgazprom, a subsidiary of "Gazprom dobycha Nadym" (General Director Sergey Menshikov) which accounts for about 11% of gas produced in Russia. Also, the city contains the largest of the independent gas producers "NOVATEK" (Yurkharovskoye field).

Large construction companies are "Arktikneftegazstroy", "Severgazstroi", "Nadymdorstroy." Until 2010, their number also included the company "Severtruboprovodstroy", but in April of 2011 it was declared bankrupt.

Of Nadym-based oil and gas production, "RITEKNadymneft" (a subsidiary of JSC "RITEK") led development of the Sandibinskogo and Mid-Khulymsk oil fields.

Education

The city has nine schools. A high school, a college (Since 2014 PU 4 received the status of college) and two art schools. The higher education system is represented by four branches of higher educational institutions of Russia:

A railway branch passes through Nadym between Novy Urengoy and Salekhard which is closed and inactivated (also called "dead road", a Stalinist-era road). At some point in time a bridge across the Ob river to Salekhard Labytnangi was planned. To date, the only construction is the railway Salekhard-Nadym. Most roads across the river Nadym were opened in September 2015. A bridge across the Ob River is also in the planning along with a road running parallel to the railroad.

The Nadym Airport is on the west bank of the Nadym River.
