Historical background
The village was founded in 1907 by settlers from the Black Sea region and until 1917 was a Mennonite Brethren settlement in the Barnaul district of the Tomsk province. At that time, the village had a prayer house and a steam mill, and by 1926 an illiteracy eradication point, a reading room, a primary school, and a rural council were functioning. In 1931, the collective farm named after Gelts was organized, which from 1950 became a branch of the collective farm named after Lenin. According to 2013 data, the population was 215 people, and by April 1, 2026, the number of residents in the village had decreased to 87 people.

Historical and cultural legacy
On the outskirts of the village, there is an old mill with sturdy log walls and a partially rusted mechanism, which was still operating in the early 2000s and was transferred to the balance of the rural administration after the collapse of the collective farm. The village is home to the MKOU Aleksandrovskaya secondary general education school (39 Pobedy Street) and a rural club (a branch of the district's multifunctional cultural center at 44 Aleksandrovka Street). In 2024, a memorial plaque was unveiled to the hero of the special military operation Ruslan Ismagilievich Kharitonov, who died in the line of duty and was awarded the Order of Courage of the Russian Federation.
