Name

Mamony began to develop after the Second World War. Before the war, there were several houses on its territory. The first buildings were put near the key in Old Mamonov by monks. In winter, they did not live in buildings, but with the onset of warm time, people appeared in small fields. The expansion of the mountainside led to the expansion of arable land, which was very necessary for forest land. At the end of the 19th century, the abbot of one of the Irkutsk monasteries turned to the governor with a request to allocate land for the monastery. The farm was managed by a man named Mamony. Thus, giving the town its name.
