In 1897 the East Siberian section of the Trans-Siberian Railway was passed through the place, which went into operation over its entire length in 1899 (Krasnoyarsk - Irkutsk ). The train station, initially called Ujarskaya after the river , was named as early as 1897 after the then larger village of Olgino , a few kilometers north, and was renamed again in 1906, after a train engineer, in Klyukwennaya .

From the 1920s the place developed on the basis of raw materials extracted in the area into a regional center of the building materials industry with a brick factory, a factory for refractory materials and a factory for mica products . In 1944 the city charter was granted under its current name.

The station was only named Ujar in 1973 after it had been expanded into a hub in the 1960s.
