History

It was founded in 1669 under the name Usolye, an archaic Russian word for a salt producing town, by the Mikhalevs brothers, Cossacks who had discovered salt deposits in a nearby spring.

The Siberian Route was built through the town in the 18th century, followed in the late 19th century by the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Town status was granted to it in 1925. The town's name was given the extension Sibirskoye (Siberian) in 1940, to differentiate from the town of Usolye in the Kama River region.

From 1947 until 1953, the town hosted a prison camp of the gulag system.
