history

Lugovoi was founded in 1922 as a settlement for farmers of Russian descent near the former village of Sujewka ( Зуевка ). The name of the place was derived from the rich meadow areas (Russian луг / lug ; meadow) on the banks of the Konda, which the farmers used as arable and pasture areas for growing grain and raising cattle. In addition to the fur trade, the settlers also went fishing in the surrounding fish-rich lakes.

In 1929, a commune was founded, but it quickly disintegrated and in 1932 it was transformed into the agricultural kolkhoz Red Banner ( Красное знамя ). Since 1937 there was also a wood harvesting company. In the 1950s and 1960s the settlement was greatly expanded. In addition to a library, a post office, a forestry, a brickworks, an ambulance, a music school as well as shops and commercial buildings were built. A village soviet was founded in 1957. The kolkhoz was dissolved in 1959.

In 1959 a small airfield with two runways was built on the western outskirts. Two years later, the Lugowoier Air Defense Department against forest fires ( Луговское отделение авиационной охраны лесов от пожаров ) was established from the airfield with helicopters ( Mi-1 , Mi-8, and later multi-purpose aircraft ( Mi-1 , Mi-2 ) and later ( Jak- 1 , Mi-2 ) Seaplanes ) operated.

The wood-producing and wood-processing industry became the most important branch of the economy. A sawmill was built in the late 1950s. The timber was transported from the felling bases by rafting across the Konda and winter roads. From 1956 to the 1970s, there was also a narrow-gauge railway up to 47 kilometers long to transport people and goods out of the forest . With the discovery and development of the West Siberian oil deposit Shaimskoye in the 1960s, the demand for housing for the growing settlements and cities in the area increased. The Lugovoi-based housing association benefited greatly from this and increased its sales of prefabricated wooden apartment buildings. On September 29, 1960 Lugovoi received urban-type settlement status.

In the 1970s, greenhouses, a chicken farm and a dairy were built in Lugowoi for local self-sufficiency. In 1980 the place, which until then had received energy from steam and diesel generators, was electrified using power lines.

Production at the Lugowoier forestry enterprise has been falling since the 1990s , as the logging bases are now more than 150 kilometers from the settlement. As a result, the population of the place is steadily decreasing.
