The name Homok was supposedly transformed from an earlier name - Kholmok. The village was built on a hill on the banks of the Sit River. Before the start of World War II, according to eyewitnesses, there were about seventy yards in the village. During the war, most of the male population of the village died or disappeared, and therefore, after the war, the village was no longer able to recover and by the beginning of the eighties there were five houses and four people from the indigenous inhabitants.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a village, water mill on the river, at the moment it is preserved, only a dam. Crayfish, burbot, pike, chub, and bream abounded in the river. However, after the start of the use of chemicals in agriculture, the cancers disappeared completely. In Soviet times, a beaver reserve was created on the City and the creek flowing into it. Given a well-chosen location, the beaver population in the 80s was quite significant. The population of Khomka and the surrounding villages worked on a collective farm covering vast territories along the rivers Sit and Kuben. They cultivated oats, rye, and flax. Much attention was paid to dairy farming. After the collapse of the USSR, the collective farm was dissolved. There are currently no inhabitants in the village. At the same time, as part of the presidential program, in the middle of the village in a thicket of weeds, they put a stationary payphone, bright blue, apparently as a symbol of a new era.
