History
It was founded in 1951 due to the construction of Shangalskaya timber logging camp. Until 1958, it was known as Pervomaysky. Both names are derived from the Soviet holidays: Pervomaysky refers to the May Day, whereas Oktyabrsky refers to the October Revolution.
The population growth accelerated after a factory producing construction blocks was open in 1957.
Urban-type settlement status was granted to it in 1960, when former Pavlitsovsky Selsoviet was abolished, and its area was subordinated to the authority of Oktyabrsky.
On September 26, 1975, the administrative center of the district was transferred from the selo of Shangaly to Oktyabrsky, but it took some time before all the district services had moved.
