history
The settlement was founded in the 1920s when the road from the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Aldan area and on to Yakutsk was built. The name refers to the high location in the Stanowoihochland, in Russian Stanowoje nagorje. The initial full name was Nagorny Priisk, where priisk is the common name in Russian for gold panning and the associated settlements. In 1927 the place became the administrative seat of Timptonski ulus, founded in 1926 (from 1930 Rajon ). The settlement remained the largest town in southern Yakutia until the 1940s. In 1941 the status of an urban-type settlement was given under its current name, but in 1943 the administrative seat of the Rajon was moved to the more centrally located Tschulman .
In the mid-1970s, the settlement experienced a temporary boom with the construction of the "Little BAM" Bamovskaya - Tynda - Neryungri, when temporary accommodation for several thousand construction workers was built at the train station about 5 km southeast of the original location. With the completion of the railway line and the lack of further economic development, most of the residents left the place in the 1980s to 1990s. The remaining residents live mainly in the "old" district. It is planned to give up the settlement entirely.
