[edit] History
During World War II, this was the eastern stage on the Uelkal-Krasnoyarsk route for US-made lend-lease warplanes to Russia.[8] During the mid-1950s, the Central Intelligence Agency suspected that a major bomber staging base was being built at Uel Kal capable of reaching United States [9], however the Soviets instead built the facility at Anadyr Ugolny Airport 102 miles (165 km) to the west and the Uel Kal airfield fell into decline.
As of 2002, it had 258 inhabitants, of whom 202 were indigenous people.[4]
