History

The village, founded in 1937 as Saryg-Bulun, became the administrative seat of a newly created Koshuun, named after the river, of the then Tuvan People's Republic on July 28, 1941 and remained so even after the region was annexed to the Soviet Union in 1944. On August 23, 1951 received the village its current name, also after the river (confirmed by the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR on March 20, 1952).
