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.[4]
