The village was established by the inhabitants of Bolsheretsk. The people of that village on the islands a few miles upstream decided to relocate to a more convenient location on the Kavalerskaya channel six miles down the river. In the spring of 1928, there were already three houses on the Kavalerskaya channel, two more were under construction.[2] The new village was formed by 1930. Until 1990, it was called the Bolsheretsky state farm (Russian: Большерецкий совхоз) after its location on the right bank of the Bolshaya. In 1990 it was renamed Kavalerskoye.[3]
