History

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.
