Ust-Maya was founded in 1930 as a base for gold mining activities on the Allakh-Yun and Yudoma Rivers to the east.[citation needed] It became the administrative center of the newly created Ust-Maysky District in 1931.[citation needed] During World War II, an airfield was built here for the Alaska-Siberian air route used to ferry American Lend-Lease aircraft to the Eastern Front.[12] In 1957, Ust-Maya was granted urban-type settlement status.[2] In 1972, the administrative center of the district was moved to Solnechny, where it remained until 1992, when it was moved back to Ust-Maya.[citation needed]
