history

The place was created in 1871 in connection with the construction of the railway line from Kozlov (today Michurinsk ) to Saratov, when a station was opened there and named after the village of Ekaterinovka , three kilometers south . Soon the population and economic importance of the new place at the train station exceeded that of the original village: as early as the end of the 19th century it was known as Bolshaya Yekaterinovka ("Groß-Eekaterinowka"), later again shortened to Yekaterinowka , and the original village , which bears this name to this day, as Malaja Jekaterinowka ("Little Jekaterinowka"). The villages belonged to the Ujesd Atkarsk of the Saratov governorate .

On July 23, 1928, Ekaterinovka became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. In 1958 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
