Navapolatsk (Belarusian: Наваполацк; Russian: Новополоцк, Novopolotsk, lit. New Polatsk) is a city in Viciebsk Province, Belarus, population 101,304 (2004 estimate). Founded in 1958,[1] it is located close to the city of Polatsk and the name literally means "New Polatsk".

When new factories were being built, they were placed far enough from Polatsk so that the radiation and dangerous gases would not reach the city. However it was later decided that it would be acceptable to build a few buildings closer to the factories for the workers to live in. With them came a hospital, a fire station, and a school. A few more buildings were built and the city of Navapolatsk was born. The population grew over the years even though it was located dangerously close to several factories, including the well-known Polymir.
