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 (Template:Langx) site (named after a nearby eponymous creek) revealed finds indicating that the area had been inhabited for the last 3000 years[6]
Twentieth Century
