history

Since the middle of the 18th century, the village of Tschesnokowka has been known in place of today's Novoaltaisk . With the construction of the Altai Railway Novonikolajewsk - Barnaul - Semipalatinsk (opened in 1915, later extended to the Turkestan-Siberian Railway or Turksib ) the importance of the village grew. At the same time, the branch line to Biysk was opened here. In 1934 a wood processing plant was completed. After the beginning of the Great Patriotic War in 1941 shifted to the Dniprodserschynsker railroad car factory here (now Altai Wagon ). In 1942 the place received town rights, in 1962 it was renamed Novoaltaisk (Russian for new Altai town ).
