Key Information
History
[edit]The history of Novalukoml goes back to 1964 when the construction of the Lukoml power station began. The settlement by the name of Pionerny (Russian: Пионерный) was a temporary place of residence for the builders and the personnel of this natural gas-fired thermal power station.
In 1965 the settlement was renamed Novalukoml (lit. "New Lukoml") after the adjacent village of Lukoml which was said to be the center of a principality centuries ago.
When the station was finished, the settlement grew steadily and was given the status of a city in 1970. In 2006 the city was granted a coat of arms.
