Kobyaysky District

Kobyaysky District spans 107,800 square kilometers across the Vilyuy River region, containing mountains in the north and the Central Yakutian Lowland in the south.

The district formed on April 20, 1937, from segments of Namsky, Gorny, and Vilyuysky Districts, with its administrative center moving from Kobyay to Sangar in 1959.

The population includes Yakut, Russian, and Even communities, maintaining traditional practices of cattle breeding and fishing throughout the scattered rural settlements.

Located 334 kilometers north of Yakutsk, the district contains numerous rivers, including the Lena River, and connects multiple rural localities through its administrative center Sangar.

Winter temperatures in the district reach extreme lows of -40°C in valleys, while the mountainous Kuturgin Range and Ust-Vilyuy Range create distinct microclimates.
