Inta was founded around 1940 as a settlement to support a geological expedition to explore coal deposits and projecting of mines. The city and a separate forced labor camp (Intalag) was built by deportees and political prisoners working in the coal mines of the Pechora coal basin.[1]
The city's name is in the Nenets language and means 'well-watered place.'
During the Soviet era, a "corrective labor camp", Intalag, was located here.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with two urban-type settlements (Verkhnyaya Inta and Kozhym) and twenty rural localities, incorporated as the town of republic significance of Inta—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[2] As a municipal division, the town of republic significance of Inta is incorporated as Inta Urban Okrug.[3]
It is served by the Inta Airport and the Kotlas–Vorkuta railway line. Inta is situated on the banks of the river Bolshoya Inta.
