The settlement was founded in 1938 in connection with the development of a tin ore deposit . Production started in 1940; in the same year Esse-Chaija received urban-type settlement status. The place name stands in Yakut for "bear mountain" (from эһэ , bear and хайа , mountain ).

When the ore reserves were exhausted, mining shifted to Deputatski as early as the 1970s , the mine was closed in 1974, and the population of Esse-Chaija fell sharply, especially from the 1990s.
