It was mentioned in a document in 1744. During the uprising in 1863 the houses burned and the residents were deported and driven out. Instead, the Russians settled here and the village was renamed Aleksandrovskaja sloboda , in honor of Alexander Yaroslavich Newski (1220–1263). In 1866 the church with a few towers was built here and the school was established. Užusaliai became a masculine church village.
In 1923 there were 70 houses and 488 residents. In 1941, German soldiers killed 48 people. In the Soviet era the center of the kolkhoz "New Life" was founded. It later became the central settlement of the Kalnėnai sovkhoz , and a Soviet museum was established here.
