History

[edit]

It was founded in 1892 as a postal station Mysovaya (Мысовая),[2] its name derived from the Russian word Mys meaning "cape", referring to its location on the shores of Lake Baikal.

A few years later it was chosen as the eastern terminus for the train ferry across Lake Baikal, which was used as part of the Trans-Siberian Railway until the rail line around the southern shore was completed in 1905. It was granted town status under the name Mysovsk in 1902.[citation needed]

It was renamed Babushkin in 1942,[2] in honor of the revolutionary Ivan Babushkin, arrested and executed at Mysovaya station in 1906.

Administrative and municipal status

[edit]

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with four rural localities, incorporated as the Town of Babushkin—an administrative division of Kabansky District.[1] As a municipal division, the territory of Babushkin, together with two rural localities, is incorporated within Kabansky Municipal District as Babushkinskoye Urban Settlement.[4] The remaining two rural localities are incorporated as Klyuyevskoye Rural Settlement of Kabansky Municipal District.[4]
