History
Olovyannaya was founded in 1895 with the construction of a railroad station. After the station was constructed, lime kilns, a sawmill, and a jetty for receiving barges were also constructed. A bridge over the Onon River was exploded during the Russian Civil War. The town became the administrative center of the district in 1926, and in 1929 the town was given the status of an urban settlement.[9]
