History

Krasny Chikoy was founded in 1670 by explorers. The first exiled Old Believers, engaged in land tenure, harvesting pine nuts, burning lime, tar, and hunting moved to the village in 1754. In 1902, there was a parochial school, post office, telegraph, district doctor and paramedic, chamber of the magistrate, distillery and oil-refinery. In 1933, it became the administrative center of the district. An airport operated in Krasny Chikoy until the 1990s.[6]
