Kargasok (Russian: Каргасок) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Kargasoksky District of Tomsk Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Ob River, 460 kilometers (290 mi) from Tomsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 8,127 (2010 Russian census);[1] 8,547 (2002 Census);[2] 8,450 (1989 Soviet census).[3]
Etymology
Its name means the bear cape in Selkup.[citation needed]
History
It was first mentioned in 1640.[citation needed] Originally, it was located on the left bank of the Panigadka River, but after the intense deforestation, the Panigadka became too shallow for large ships to approach, prompting Kargasok's move to its present location.
