History
By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated July 15, 1953, the working village of Norilsk was transformed into a city of regional subordination with the separation of the Taymyr National Okrug from the Dudinsky District.[8]
From 1935 to 1956, the labor camp Norillag existed in Norilsk.[9]
On November 2, 1956, the villages of Medvezhy, Ugolny, and Kayerkan were classified as working villages.
On January 12, 1965, the workers' villages of Kayerkan, Talnakh and Snezhnogorsk were transferred to the administrative subordination of the Norilsk City Council of Workers' Deputies.[10]
On August 25, 1970, Talnakh was transformed into a district of urban subordination.
On November 4, 1982, Talnakh and Kayerkan were transformed into cities of regional subordination with administrative subordination to the Norilsk City Council of Workers' Deputies.[10]
The boundaries are established by the Law of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of December 27, 2000 N 13-1102 “On establishing the boundaries of the municipal formation of the city of Norilsk”.
The status of an urban district is vested in the Law of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of December 10, 2004 N 12-2697 “On granting the municipality of the city of Norilsk the status of an urban district”.[11]
