History
Nagayevo was a predecessor of the present day city of Magadan. It was founded in 1929 on the shore of Nagayev Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk. It rapidly grew, and in 1930 it was granted urban-type settlement status. In 1931, it became the administrative center of Okhotsk-Evenk National Okrug.
In 1932, the Settlement of Magadan was founded just 2.5 kilometers (1.6 mi) from Nagayevo, also on the coast. In 1939, they were both merged into the new Town of Magadan.
