In the middle of the 19th century Aksha Stanitsa became the Transbaikal Cossack , and with the establishment of a new okrug of the then Transbaikalia Oblast it received city rights as its administrative seat in 1872. In 1924 the place became the center of a Ujesd , but with its conversion into a Rajon in 1926 it was downgraded to a village again.
