Ytyk-Kyuyol (Russian: Ытык-Кюёль; Yakut: Ытык-Күөл, Itık Küöl) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Tattinsky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located on the left bank of the Tatta River (in the Aldan's basin), 255 kilometers (158 mi) from Yakutsk, the capital of the republic. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 6,828.
It is named for a nearby lake, whose name literally means "Sacred Lake" in the Yakut language.
Ytyk-Kyuyol became the administrative center of the newly created Alexeyevsky District in 1930. The district was given its present name (after the Tatta River) in 1990.
Ytyk-Kyuyol is often affected by flooding, most recently on May 20, 2007, when 873 houses were submerged and more than 3,000 people had to be evacuated.
An agricultural center, Ytyk-Kyuyol has developed cattle and horse breeding industries; growing of potatoes and other vegetables is also common. There is also some timber production.
Ytyk-Kyuyol is located on the R504 Kolyma Highway, allowing road access to Yakutsk.
Ethnic Yakuts make up over 95% of the population.
There are two middle-grade schools, a gymnasium, a music school, and a sports school, as well as the literary-artistic museum-reserve "Tatta".
