Zeya (town)

Zeya (town)

Zeya ( _ru. Зе́я) is a town in Amur Oblast, Russia, located on the Zeya River (a tributary of the Amur) some 230 km southeast of Tynda and 532 km north of Blagoveshchensk. Population: 27,400 (2005 est.); 27,795 (2002 Census); 31,955 (1989 Census).

Zeya was founded in 1879 as a settlement of Zeysky Sklad ( _ru. Зе́йский Склад, lit. "Zeya Warehouse") due to the discovery of gold deposits in the Zeya River basin. In 1906, it was renamed Zeya-Pristan ( _ru. Зе́я-При́стань, lit "Zeya Port"). In 1913, the town was once again renamed and became Zeya.
