A bit of history
The village of Altai in the Altai Territory was founded back in 1808. At first, this settlement was the center of the Altai volost, later it began to be considered a large merchant village. Trade and small industry were well developed here.
If we talk about people who lived on this earth in those distant times, then, according to the records found (which, however, only speak of male souls), in 1857 511 men lived here, in 1882 - 822. At the end of the 19th century, people began to move to the village of Altaiskoye in the Altai Territory, thanks to which the settlement grew rapidly.
Already in 1893, there were 519 households and 3082 inhabitants on this land. The building of the volost government, two churches (one of which was Orthodox, and the other of the same faith), a college and a school were built. Oil and leather factories, a wine warehouse, mills and several trading shops also worked here.
According to the census conducted in 1926, the village of Altaiskoye in the Altai Territory was home to 7595 inhabitants. Almost half a century later, the settlement received the status, according to which it was now considered an urban-type settlement.

On the territory of the village there were 519 households and 3,000 inhabitants. In addition, the village had two churches, an oil mill and a tannery, a weekly market, and a magistrate's chamber.
