Nizhneangarsk (Russian: Нижнеанга́рск) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Severo-Baykalsky District of the Republic of Buryatia, Russia, located at the northern tip of Lake Baikal, 23 kilometers (14 mi) north of Severobaykalsk. Population: 5,030 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 5,595 (2002 Census);[2] 6,977 (1989 Census).[3]

It was founded in 1643 by the Russian explorer Semyon Skorokhod and was originally called Verkhneangarsk (Верхнеанга́рск), after the fort built here by Vasily Kolesnik in 1646. Nizhneangarsk is the location of the Nizhneangarsk Airport, with flights to Ulan-Ude and Irkutsk. In the 1970s, it was planned to make Nizhneangarsk the headquarters of the western end of the Baikal Amur Mainline, but the marshy ground made it hard to build large buildings, so the headquarters was moved south to Severobaykalsk.
