history

The village was founded in 1928 by Jewish resettlers . The name is a portmanteau of the Amur and the abbreviation set for s emelnoje (j) e wreiskoje t owarischtschestwo, Russian for "Jewish land Cooperative". With the establishment of the Jewish National Oblast and its division into rajons on July 20, 1934, the village became part of the Stalinski rajon (after Josef Stalin ) with its seat in Stalinsk (until 1928 Butylkino , until 1934 Stalinfeld, badly destroyed by floods in 1951, renamed in 1962 Oktyabrskoje and abandoned in 1968).

Before 1940 the administrative headquarters were relocated to Amurset, where the largest collective farm in the area, called Red October, was now located. The Rajon was renamed Amurski in 1961 , on February 1, 1963 in Oktjabrski rajon (from Russian oktjabr for "October" with reference to the October Revolution ) and at the same time reduced in size.
