Srednekansky District (Russian: Среднека́нский райо́н) is an administrative district (raion), one of the eight in Magadan Oblast, Russia.[1] As a municipal division, it is incorporated as Srednekansky Urban Okrug.[6] It is located in the central and northern parts of the oblast. Its administrative center is the urban locality (an urban-type settlement) of Seymchan.[1] As of the 2010 Census, the total population of the district was 3,228, with the population of Seymchan accounting for 87.3% of that number.[3]

The district borders the Sakha Republic in the north and northwest, Bilibinsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Severo-Evensky District in the northeast, Omsukchansky District in the east, Khasynsky District in the south, Yagodninsky District in the southwest, and Susumansky District in the west.[11] The area of the district is 91,818.35 square kilometers (35,451.26 sq mi).[2]

The Omolon flows at the northeastern border. The Namyndykan, Seymchan, Buyunda, Korkodon, Bulun, and their tributaries flow across the district.[12]

History[edit]

The district was established on August 23, 1931 and had its administrative center in Srednekan.[2] In 1934, the administrative center was moved to Taskan.[2] Seymchan became the administrative center on December 2, 1953.[2]
