History

It was established in 1910 in connection with the construction of the Amur Railway; both the settlement and the railway station were named after the stream called Magdagachi, which flows into a tributary of the Amur River. Magdagachi was granted urban-type settlement status in 1938.

Climate

Magdagachi experiences a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen Dwb) bordering upon a subarctic climate (Dwc) with very cold, dry winters and warm, humid, and rainy summers.
