The name Sagan-Zhalgay comes from the Buryat sagaan zhalga - “white ravine” ^{[2] [3]} .

Initially, the village was founded at the beginning of the XX century as a loan. An artel was organized in the Sagan-Zhalgai in the 1930s, and the Angara collective farm, which later became the third brigade of the Stalin Truth collective farm, was organized. In the late 1930s, residents of the villages of Tokhtuy (Takhta) and Nalur of the Nukutsk region , who have now disappeared, moved to the village in the hope of shelter from repression. Back in the 1920s, they used the area in the vicinity of Sagan-Zhalgai to graze livestock. In the post-war years, two MTFs, a pig farm, a large grain warehouse, a horse yard, a khomutark, a forge, a machine yard, a school, a shop, a club functioned in the village. Workers came to work for the Komsomol youth farm from neighboring settlements, in particular from Bakhtai and Undar- Khuan . In the village, there were about 40 yards, the population was more than 100 people. The outflow of the population began in the 1970s. However, in the late 1980s, relatively many people still lived there. In the early 1990s, a livestock farm, school, and store were closed. Residents of the village began to move, move houses to neighboring settlements ^{[4] [5] [6]} .

At the moment, there is no water or electricity in the village.
