History[edit]

The seloofUlala (Улала) was established in 1824 when migrants moved to this area from Biysk.[2] When Oirot Autonomous Oblast was established on June 1, 1922, Ulala became its administrative center.[2] On February 27, 1928, Ulala was granted town status and on June 23, 1932, it was renamed Oyrot-Tura (Ойрот-Тура).[2] The present name was given to the town on January 7, 1948.[2]

Climate[edit]

Gorno-Altaysk has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) characterised by frigid winters and warm to very warm summers. Precipitation is moderate and is much higher in the hotter summer months than in the frigid winter season, when it falls entirely as low-water-content snow.
