History of Angarsk began in 1945 year when project site of Coal-to-Liquids Plant which coal was mined in Cheremkhovsky District was established in the interfluve area of Angara and Kitoy rivers. Pioneer builders came in wild taiga, on the shore of Kitoy river, in autumn of the same year. And the worker's settlement had already been granted the status of the city named Angarsk.

After Angarsk was given the land of 72 000 hectares by Irkutsk District of Irkutsk Region and Usolsky District of Irkutsk Region in 1993, Angarsky District governed by the city was founded. This territory became Angarsk Municipal District after about 4 years.
