==History==
===Pre-history===
The name of the village comes from the [[Chukchi language|Chukchi]] word ''I'nchuvin'', meaning "a cut-off nose tip". This strange appellation is derived from a nearby cliff with a large rock at its base that is said to look like a nose cut from a face.<ref>Strogoff, p.120</ref> There is a Chukchi dancing troupe in the village called ''Vyrykvyn''.<ref name="beringia" />
Excavations carried out by the Museum of Chukotka Heritage Centre and the State Museum of Northern Art at the Palpeygak ({{langx|ru|Пальпейгак}}) site (named after a nearby eponymous creek) revealed finds indicating that the area had been inhabited for the last 3000 years<ref name="OCDW">[http://chukotraion.ru/places/index.html Муниципальное образование сельское поселение Инчоун] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725193523/http://chukotraion.ru/places/index.html |date=2010-07-25 }} Municipal Formation of the Rural Settlement of Inchoun - Official Website of Chukotsky District]</ref>
===Twentieth Century===
In 1945 Inchoun had the best Soviet reading rooms in the Okrug.<ref name="OCDW" /> In the 1950s, construction began on wooden houses in the village and by 1957, the first nine families moved out of their [[Yaranga]] and into these new houses.<ref name="OCDW" />
==Demographics==
The population of the village as of 2009 was 398<ref name="OCDW" /> an increase on the estimate in 2008 of 365,<ref name="beringia" /> which itself was down from the figure given in March 2003 of 373 (of which 353 were indigenous peoples).<ref name="RedCross">Red Cross of Chukotka.
