The village was founded in the early 17th century and was originally called Usa, in honor of the Usa River. In the early 20th century, a wooden church was built and consecrated in honor of the Archangel Michael. According to documents from the Ulyanovsk State Archive from 1900, the church was wooden and warm, built by parishioners in 1879 and surrounded by a wooden fence. It had two altars: the main one in the name of the Archangel Michael and a side altar in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow."

In 1926, the church burned down along with the parish books, as told by the locals, but by 1928 it was restored through the efforts of the parishioners. It is known that the church was part of the seventh deanery district of the Syzran district of the Simbirsk province.

The last service took place in 1939 on Easter. Due to persecution against the church, the rector, Archpriest Ioann Ignatievich Yevgrafov, was arrested and sent to camps for seven years. The church was closed, the cross and bells were removed, and the church utensils and icons were taken away. Over the years, the building was used as warehouses, a grain storage facility, and a kindergarten.

In April 2003, it was decided to revive church life, and the village administration returned the building to the believers. The first service took place on January 7, 2005.
