Barabinsk is a city in Russia, the administrative center of the Barabinsky district of the Novosibirsk region. The city forms the municipality city of Barabinsk with the status of an urban settlement as the only settlement in its composition. Railway station on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Barabinsk is a large railway junction.
During the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway,
the marshland forced the construction of a railway outside the city
of Kainsk. In the place closest to the city, the Kainsk-Tomsky
railway station (opened in 1896) was built, at which a settlement of
railway employees arose.
The settlement developed rapidly,
and in 1911 a project appeared on the basis of the station
settlement (the population of which had already reached 4 thousand
people) of the city - "Alekseevsk". At the meeting of the provincial
presence on peasant affairs, which took place on March 18, 1911, it
was decided “to recognize the settlement at the Kainsk station as
subject to turning into a non-county town with simplified
management”, but for not quite clear reasons, the status did not
change. Only by the end of 1916, the village at the station "Kainsk"
became a countyless town in the Tomsk province, named "Barabinsk"
for its location on the Barabinsk lowland.
In 1920, the first
issue of the newspaper "Barabinskiy Vestnik" was published, which
was then called "Izvestia of the Barabinskiy Revolutionary
Committee".
In 1925, in connection with the formation of the
Siberian Territory, the Kainsky district was abolished and the
Barabinsky district was formed. The transfer of administrative
structures from Kainsk to Barabinsk led to a significant increase in
the population: if on January 1, 1927, the population of Barabinsk
was 9,757 people, then in 1930, 15,081 people lived in the city.
On June 30, 1930, the West Siberian Territory was formed, and on
August 10 of the same year the Barabinsky District was disbanded and
the Barabinsky District was formed, which included the city of
Kainsk. In 1937, the Novosibirsk Region was formed, and the
Barabinsky District became part of it.
By the decree of the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated February 9, 1944
No. 43/101, Barabinsk was classified as a city of regional
subordination. In 1957, the settlement of Novopokrovka from the
Novogutovsky village council was included in its structure. In 1963,
the village of Novochernovaya from the Kozlovsky state farm entered
the city limits.
