history

Insa was built in 1897 as a station settlement during the construction of the new, shorter railway line Moscow – Samara, which became part of the original, southern route of the Trans-Siberian Railway (completion of the line to Ulyanovsk, then Simbirsk, 1898; the continuous line to Samara in 1900). The name after the nearby river was probably derived from the ersja-Mordovian insejen for raspberry .

In 1938 (according to other information already in 1926) Insa received the status of an urban-type settlement and in 1946 the town charter .
