History

In 1873, at the confluence of the river Khondergey into the river Chadan, a Buddhist monastery was founded named Aldee-Khuree. This year is considered the founding year of Chadan.

In 1923, the village by the monastery was named Artaadyt. In January 1929 the Plenum Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party adopted an anti-religious decree, the Aldee-Khuree monastery was closed and destroyed, and the village was renamed Chadan.

In May 1945 Chadan was granted status as a town and became the capital of the Dzun-Khemchiksky District. At this time, near the city a coal deposit was discovered and Chadan began its development of opencast mining.
