geography
The place is about 110 km as the crow flies east-northeast of the administrative center of Omsk in the western part of the Barabasteppe . It is located on the right bank of the Irtysh tributary Om , below the confluence of the right tributary Achairka.
Nizhnyaya Omka is the administrative center of Nizhneomsky Rajon and the seat of the rural municipality of Nizhneomskoye selkoye posselenije, which also includes the villages of Kamyshinka (8 km to the west), Kaburly, Lavrino, Pridorozhnoye (20, 14 and 8 km to the west-southwest) and Vishnevka (3 km to the north-east) .
history
The village was founded in 1765 by resettlers and exiles from the Dnepr and the Volga region . The place name, like the alternative form Nizhne-Omskaja used in the 19th century, refers to the location on the lower reaches of the Om, in Russian Nizhnyaja Om for "lower Om".
From May 25, 1925 Nizhnyaya Omka belonged to the newly created Jelanski rajon with headquarters in Jelanka 30 km to the northwest (at that time also Jelanskoje, now in the Ust-Tarkski rajon of the neighboring Novosibirsk Oblast ). With the dissolution of the Rajon on December 10, 1932, the village came to the Ikonnikowski rajon, which was called Gorkowski rajon from 1936 , as well as its district center, located 40 km west of Nizhnyaya Omka, accordingly Gorkowskoje . With the spin-off of an independent Rajons named after him, Nizhnyaya Omka became its administrative seat in 1940.
