history

The settlement was founded in 1976 on the site of a geological exploration company and received the status of an urban-type settlement in 1977. Among other things, the company explored the occurrence of the rare jewelry mineral Charoite (Tscharoite) in the Murun massif, about 40 km to the west. With the drastic cut in state funding for geological exploration from the beginning of the 1990s, all permanent residents left the place by the end of the 2000s. Nevertheless, Torgo still has the status of an urban-type settlement (as of 2013).
