history

When the Russians began exploring Kolyma and Chukotka, an ostrog was built near the present-day location . The ruins of the Ostrog can still be seen not far from the town. The Ostrog was originally located on an island, but was moved to the banks of the river due to frequent flooding. The place name Ostrownoje is derived from this (Остров / Ostrow is the Russian word for island).

In December 1930, the Chukchi National Circle was founded, with Ostrownoje becoming the seat of Vostochnoi Tundry ("Eastern Tundra Rajon"). Later the seat was moved to Anjuisk , today the seat of the Rajon is in Bilibino , founded in 1955 , the Rajon is now called after the city of Bilibinski rajon .

In Ostrownoje the first collective farm was founded by the Chukchi, it was called Turvaurgyn (“New Life” in Chukchi ), which also had a radio transmitter . The kolkhoz was later converted into a normal farm.
