Kuybyshev (Russian: Ку́йбышев) is a town in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Om River (Irtysh's tributary), 315 kilometers (196 mi) west of Novosibirsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 45,299 (2010 Census);[3] 48,848 (2002 Census);[9] 51,171 (1989 Census);[10] 40,000 (1970).
It was founded as a military fort named Kainsky Pas (Каинский Пас) in 1722.[citation needed] On January 30, 1782, it was granted town status and renamed Kainsk.[citation needed] In 1804, it became a part of Tomsk Governorate. In 1935, it was renamed Kuybyshev after Valerian Kuybyshev, who was exiled to Kainsk in 1907 and lived here for two years.[citation needed]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Kuybyshev serves as the administrative center of Kuybyshevsky District,[1] even though it is not a part of it.[2] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town of Kuybyshev[2]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[citation needed] As a municipal division, the Town of Kuybyshev is incorporated within Kuybyshevsky Municipal District as Kuybyshev Urban Settlement.[5]
