Historical background
The settlement was formed in 1777 by migrants from the western part of Russia. By 1928, it numbered 552 households, and in 1954 the advanced collective farm "Pamyat Lenina" (Memory of Lenin) was formed here, which was the first to introduce new methods of animal husbandry and achieved high crop yields. In 1988, the independent state farm "Med Altaya" (Honey of Altai) was created, thanks to which the construction of apartments, a bakery, and production shops intensified in the village. The settlement is the birthplace and workplace of the first Hero of Labor in the district, Login Yakovlevich Sapunov, Doctor of Biological Sciences Alexey Petrovich Kuchin, war veteran Ivan Matveyevich Burnashov, and the future head of the Biysk city administration Gennady Grigoryevich Karpushkin. Today the village has seven streets, and the population as of 2026 is 559 people.
