History
The district was established on September 21, 1938. Tungokochen became then the capital of Tungokochensky District. In 1976, the administrative center was moved to the village of Verkh-Usugli. Tungokochen had an airport which was functional until the 1990s. Formerly there was communication by plane, but after the airport closed in the 1990s all the transport is by road, which is difficult in some seasons.[http://ez.chita.ru/encycl/concepts/?id=7238 Tungokochensky District, Small Encyclopedia of Transbaikalia]
