"Lebediny" is a Russian adjective literally meaning swan-like or of the swan; the name is said to refer to a local legend that swans rested here while migrating south for the winter.[citation needed]
It was founded in 1927 in connection to development of local gold deposits, with the Lebediny gold mine beginning operation in 1933.[citation needed] Urban-type settlement status was granted to it in 1967.[2]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Lebediny[1] is, together with one rural locality (the selo of Orochen 1-y), incorporated within Aldansky District as the Settlement of Lebediny.[2] As a municipal division, the territories of the Settlement of Lebediny and the Settlement of Leninsky are incorporated within Aldansky Municipal District as Leninsky Urban Settlement.[5]
Like nearby Yakokut and Leninsky, Lebediny is a gold-mining settlement. The Amur–Yakutsk Mainline railway also passes adjacent to the settlement, which is serviced by Kosarevsky railway station.
