The name comes from the fact that Ussuri River is located on the territory of the krai.
Through the efforts of the Russian governor Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky, the Qing dynasty of China conceded its rights to the territory to Russia in the Amur Annexation.
This decision was officially documented in the Aigun Treaty (1858) and the Convention of Peking (1860).
National Geographic Channel represented the film named "Secret Forest" as the part of the cycle Wild Russia, which describes the natural reserves of Ussuri Krai.
