Population: {{ru-census|p2010=30,394|p2002=32,501|p1989=36,501}}

==History== During the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the swampy terrain forced the railway line to be laid away from the town of Kainsk. The Kainsk-Tomsky railway station (opened in 1896) was built at the point closest to the town, and a settlement for railway employees sprang up around it.

The settlement developed rapidly, and in 1911 a project was proposed to create a town called Alexeyevsk based on the station settlement, whose population had already reached 4,000 by that time. At a meeting of the provincial board for peasant affairs held on 18 March 1911, it was resolved that "the settlement at Kainsk station is to be recognised as subject to conversion into a non-district town with simplified administration"; however, for reasons that are not entirely clear, the change in status did not occur. It was only towards the end of 1916 that the settlement at Kainsk station became a non-district town of Tomsk Governorate, named Barabinsk after its location on the Baraba Lowland.

In 1920, the first issue of the newspaper Barabinsky Vestnik was published, then called Izvestiya of the Barabinsk Revolutionary Committee.

In 1925, following the formation of Siberian Krai, Kainsk Uyezd was abolished and Barabinsk Okrug was established. The relocation of administrative structures from Kainsk to Barabinsk led to significant population growth: whereas on 1 January 1927 the population of Barabinsk was 9,757, by 1930 the town already had 15,081 residents.

On 30 June 1930, West Siberian Krai was formed, and on 10 August of the same year Barabinsk Okrug was dissolved and Barabinsk District was established, incorporating the town of Kainsk as well. In 1937, Novosibirsk Oblast was formed, and Barabinsk District became part of it.

By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR No. 43/101 of 9 February 1944, Barabinsk was assigned to the category of towns under oblast jurisdiction. In 1957, the settlement of Novopokrovka from Novogutovsky Village Council was incorporated into its boundaries. In 1963, the village of Novochernovaya from Kozlovsky State Farm was also absorbed into the town limits.

==Administrative and municipal status== Within the framework of administrative divisions, Barabinsk serves as the administrative center of Barabinsky District,<ref name="OKATO1">{{OKATO reference|50 204}}</ref> even though it is not a part of it.<ref name="OKATO2">{{OKATO reference|50 405}}</ref> As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the '''Town of Barabinsk'''<ref name="OKATO2" />—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} As a municipal division, the Town of Barabinsk is incorporated within Barabinsky Municipal District as '''Barabinsk Urban Settlement'''.<ref name="NovosibirskO_mun">Law #200-OZ</ref>

==Economy== '''Industry'''

The first industrial enterprise in Barabinsk was a garment factory, opened in 1937. Its first director was Stepan Yatsko.

In August 1958, Plant No. 3 of the USSR Ministry of Communications began operations; from 1959, under the State Plan for development, the plant started undergoing reconstruction. The plant manufactured equipment for postal communications. In accordance with a resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers, in 1966 the state union plant was given a new name — the Barabinsk Union Plant Promsvyaz. In 1992, the plant was reorganised into the open joint-stock company Svyazist, and since August 2012 it has been the limited liability company Zavod Sibpromsvyaz.

Other enterprises:

· Compound Feed Plant · Dairy Plant · Baraba Production Association · Barabinsky Food Processing Plant (closed joint-stock company) · Barabinskiye Myasoprodukty (Barabinsk Meat Products, LLC) · Zhivoye Pivo (Live Beer, LLC)
