History
Pre-history
The name of the village comes from the Chukchi word I'nchuvin, meaning "a cut-off nose tip". This strange appellation is derived from a nearby cliff with a large rock at its base that is said to look like a nose cut from a face.[5] There is a Chukchi dancing troupe in the village called Vyrykvyn.[1]
Excavations carried out by the Museum of Chukotka Heritage Centre and the State Museum of Northern Art at the Palpeygak (Шаблон:Lang-ru) site (named after a nearby eponymous creek) revealed finds indicating that the area had been inhabited for the last 3000 years[6]
Twentieth Century
In 1945 Inchoun had the best Soviet reading rooms in the Okrug.[6] In the 1950s, construction began on wooden houses in the village and by 1957, the first nine families moved out of their Yaranga and into these new houses.[6]
Demographics
The population of the village as of 2009 was 398[6] an increase on the estimate in 2008 of 365,[1] which itself was down from the figure given in March 2003 of 373 (of which 353 were indigenous peoples).[7] The official census results indicate a slight reduction on the 2009 estimate to 387,[8] of whom 185 were male and 202 female.[3]
