Ura-Guba (Russian: Ура́-Губа́), also known as Ura (Russian: Ура),[2] is a rural locality (a selo) in Kolsky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located beyond the Arctic Circle at a height of 1m (03feet) above sea level. Population: 517 (2010 Census).[3]

History

It was founded in the 1860s—the decade when the Murman Coast was actively being settled.[4]

By the April 20, 1921 Decision of the Plenary Session of Murmansky Uyezd Executive Committee, Ura-Guba was transferred from Novozerskaya to Alexandrovskaya Volost and became the administrative center of Ursky (Ura-Gubsky) Selsoviet.

On September 11, 1938, Ura-Guba was made the administrative center of Polyarny District by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR.[5] When Polyarny District was abolished on July 9, 1960,[6] Ura-Guba became a part of Kolsky District.
