When Ujesda was divided up in 1924, Verkhni Mamon came to Ujesd Boguchar until it became the administrative seat of a Rajon named after him on July 30, 1928.

During the Second World War , the summer offensive of the German Wehrmacht and its allies came to a halt on the Don in mid-July 1942, whereby the Red Army was able to hold a bridgehead on the right bank opposite the Werchni Mamon - there the Don makes a large loop .
