The name of the settlement is derived from the Yamburg gas field,[3] which was discovered in 1969.[4] Yamburg was constructed in the early 1980s as the base of operations for the exploration and development of the gas field. Yamburg is a company town, and the vast majority of its 5,000–6,000 inhabitants are employees of Gazprom.[3] The settlement is well served by transport infrastructure, including an airport, as well as river, motor and railway connections to other points in Russia.[4]
