The town was founded in November 1974 near the village named after the river Urgal in connection with the construction of the Baikal - Amur Mainline (BAM ). The place name is accordingly for new Urgal.

Already since 1951 the railway line from Iswestkowy ( station Iswestkowaja ) restored by Urgal led to the Trans-Siberian railway to Tschegdomyn who in 1941 originally stood before completion, but was dismantled after the war began, because the material was needed for war more important routes. Now here that a large railway junction of the old route and BAM was built, as well as the settlement of construction workers from the former Ukrainian SSR built ( in the context of propaganda to the All-Union Komsomol construction project BAM one or more regions of the former Soviet Union have sponsored over most to be erected stations and settlements along the route).

1985 Novy Urgal received the status of an urban-type settlement. The regular train traffic on the entire eastern section of the BAM Tynda in the neighboring Oblast Amur Komsomolsk -on-Amur was taken up in 1989. After completion of the railway, as well as due to the economic crisis in the 1990s, many residents left the place.
