The city of Bogotol is administratively directly subordinate to the region as an urban district and at the same time the administrative center of the raion of the same name (but not part of it).
Bogotol is on the Trans-Siberian Railway (3846 km from Moscow ) and the M53 Novosibirsk - Krasnoyarsk - Irkutsk road .
history
A village called Bogotol was founded in 1762 (named after the river, from the tribal name of the Keten bogotu who settled in the area and the Ketian word ul for river ). From 1893 the Trans-Siberian Railway passed a few kilometers north and the Bogotol station opened in 1898. The rapidly growing station settlement soon merged with the old village and in 1911 received city rights as part of the Mariinsk district of the Tomsk governorate . In 1925, Bogotol became the administrative center of the Rajons in what was then the Achinsk region and later in the Krasnoyarsk region.
