It was founded in 1893 as a mining settlement under the name of Gorodok.[citation needed] Mining of the local tungsten and molybdenum reserves began in 1933. Town status was granted to it in 1944.[citation needed] It was renamed Zakamensk in 1959,[citation needed] from the Russian term Zakamen which had been used for the region since the 17th century. The word means beyond the rocks in Russian, referring to its location beyond the Chamar-Daban mountains.
