history

The settlement was founded in the mid-1970s in connection with the construction of the "Small BAM" Bamovskaya - Tynda  - Neryungri. Solotinka has had the status of an urban-type settlement since 1977. The place name, derived from the Russian soloto for gold , means “gold dust particles ” or “gold sheen” and refers to the gold deposits in the area, especially in the Ijengra valley.

After the completion of the railway line in the early 1980s and the widespread cessation of gold mining that soon followed, which did not meet expectations in this part of the region, the majority of the residents left the place.
