Aldan (Russian: Алдан; IPA: [ɐlˈdan]; Yakut: Алдан) is a gold-mining town and the administrative center of Aldansky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located in the Aldan highlands, in the Aldan River basin, on the stream Orto-Sala near its mouth in the Seligdar River, about 470 kilometers (290 mi) south of the republic's capital of Yakutsk. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 21,275.[4]

History
It was founded in 1923[6] as Nezametny (Незаме́тный), after discovery of rich gold deposits. It was granted town status and renamed in 1939.[citation needed] During World War II, an airfield was built here for the Alaska-Siberian (ALSIB) air route used to ferry American Lend-Lease aircraft to the Eastern Front.[11]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Aldan serves as the administrative center of Aldansky District.[1] As an inhabited locality, Aldan is classified as a town under district jurisdiction.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with two rural localities, incorporated within Aldansky District as the Town of Aldan.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Aldan is incorporated within Aldansky Municipal District as Aldan Urban Settlement.[2]
Economy
Aldan remains a productive gold and mica mining center, largely avoiding the large drop in population suffered by most other towns in the Russian Far East in the years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Transportation
The town stands on the A360 Lena Highway, which connects Yakutsk and Never, as well as on the partially complete Amur–Yakutsk Mainline railway. It is served by the Aldan Airport.
Climate
Aldan has the typical eastern Siberian subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) though it is affected by the Pacific Ocean more than localities in the lower Lena basin, which gives it much heavier rainfall during the summer than most of the republic, as well as a little more snowfall and considerably less extreme winter temperatures. Although winters are somewhat less extreme than Yakutsk, summers are actually somewhat cooler than those northerly areas.
