History
Yagodnoye was founded in 1934 in connection with the construction of the Kolyma Highway and the development of gold mining in the area. The town's name literally means "place rich in berries" and got its name from the local stream Yagodny (Ягодный).
From 1949 until 1957, the settlement housed the administration of the Sevlag Gulag forced labor camp, which was initially subordinated to Dalstroy. The camp housed up to 15,800 (in 1951) prisoners used in gold mining, road building, and timber felling.
With the creation of Yagodninsky District in 1953, Yagodnoye received urban-type settlement status.
