Neryungri (Sakha: Нүөрүҥгүрү Russian: Не́рюнгри) is the second largest town in the Sakha Republic, Russia. Population: 66,269 (2002 Census);[1] 72,540 (1989 Census).[2]
Municipally, the town is incorporated as Neryungrinsky Municipal District (Нерюнгринский муниципальный район).
It was founded in 1975 due to the development of the nearby coal basin. The name "Neryungri" comes from the Evenk word for grayling.
It is the center of a large coal field discovered about 1970. It is on the Amur Yakutsk Mainline and the Lena Highway, 202km by rail north of Tynda. Neraby, all in the coal basin, are Berkakit: 10 km south; Serebryany Bor: 8 km east with a hydropower plant; Chulman: 30 km north, with Chulman Airport; and a large open pit coal mine northwest across the Chulman River.
