History
[edit]The village, inhabited mainly by Yakuts, was founded in 1902. It was made the administrative centre of the Megino-Kangalassky District upon its formation in 1930, a position it held until 2007, when the administration was moved to the more central, though smaller, settlement of Nizhny Bestyakh, located around 30 km north-west.
