History
The village was founded and named Monomakh Slobidka (Мономахова Слободка) in 1907 by settlers from Bryansk and Chernihiv. In 1933 it was renamed Vangou (Вангоу).
On 26 August 1949, by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the village was renamed again, now becoming Lazo (Лазо) in honour of the revolutionary hero Sergey Lazo (1894 - 1920). At the same time the Sokolov District in Primorski Krai was renamed as the "Lazovsky District".
