history

In 1811 one of the first tin ore deposits of the Russian Empire was discovered in the village of Oloworudnik (literally tin mine ), which is part of the municipality today , and its mining began in the 19th century. Towards the end of the century, the Chinese Eastern Railway , which crosses the Onon not far, was passed and the Onon-Kitaiski station (after the river and Russian kitaiski for Chinese ) was built there. The opening year of the line, 1901, is also considered the year the town was founded, which was initially called like the train station.

In 1901 the station and location were renamed Olowjannaja, the Russian adjective of olowo for tin, in reference to the nearby mine. Since 1926 the place has been the administrative seat of a Rajons, in 1929 it received the status of an urban-type settlement.

With the cessation of tin mining due to the depletion of the deposits in the 1940s, the relocation of the railway workshops to the southeastern town of Borsja and the establishment of nearby Jasnogorsk in the late 1970s, Olowjannaya gradually lost its importance.
