[edit] History

It was founded in the second half of the 19th century as the settlement of Vayenga (Ваенга). On April 18, 1951, it was elevated in status to that of a town under oblast jurisdiction and given its present name.[4] On April 26, 1951, by the Decision of Murmansk Oblast Executive Committee, several inhabited localities of Polyarny District were passed into its jurisdiction.[4]

By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of July 9, 1960, Polyarny District was abolished and the town of Polyarny was administratively subordinated to Severomorsk.[7] At the same time, the territory of Teribersky District was also merged with the territory of Severomorsk, to which the district's subdivisions were subordinated.[7] Teribersky District was nominally retained as an administrative division and renamed Severomorsky.[7]

When Saamsky District was abolished on January 26, 1963, Gremikha, its administrative center, was similarly subordinated to Severomorsk.[4]

By the June 17, 1983 Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR Decree, the town of Polyarny which elevated in status to that of a town under oblast jurisdiction, and consequently by the August 10, 1983 Decision of the Murmansk Oblast Executive Committee, several inhabited localities previously subordinated to Severomorsk were transferred to it.[4]
