It was founded in 1958 by merging the villages of Zhirnoye Selo (Жи́рное Село́) and Kurakino Selo (Куракино Село́), each of which had been founded in their own right in the 17th and 18th centuries. The merger was prompted by the discovery of significant oil deposits near these villages in the 1940s and the consequent establishment of a worker's housing estate in 1954.
