history
In 1933 the village became the administrative seat of the Chemalski aimak, founded in 1922, of the then Oirot Autonomous Oblast, the predecessor of today's Altai Republic. The administrative unit was then renamed Elikmanarski aimak . It was dissolved in 1962/1963. When the Tschemalski rajon was spun off from the Schebalinski rajon in 1992, the neighboring town of Tschemal, which was now about twice as large, became its administrative center as it had been until 1933.
