history

The settlement was created from 1971 in connection with the construction of the dam and hydroelectric power station of the Kolyma reservoir , which are a few kilometers upstream. In 1972 Sinegorje received the status of an urban-type settlement. The name is derived from sinije gory , Russian for blue mountains. After the completion of the power plant in the 1990s, most of the residents left the place, which is now mainly inhabited by the employees of the power plant and their families.

In 1999 the Church of the Annunciation was consecrated in Sinegorje (Russian: chram Blagoweschtschenija Preswjatoi Bogorodizy ); the place is named for the eparchy of Magadan and Sinegorje of the Russian Orthodox Church .
