history

The place was created in 1897 during the construction of the Tsaritsyn (now Volgograd) - Tichorezkaya railway line , when the Shutovo station, named after a village just 10 km to the east , was built there not far from the hamlet (chutor) Krugljakow , around which a settlement subsequently grew.

During the Second World War , during the Battle of Stalingrad from summer 1942, especially during the German company Wintergewitter in December 1942, fierce fighting broke out.

At the end of 1947, the administrative seat of the Voroshilovsky rajon , which was created in 1937 and named after the marshal and politician Kliment Voroshilov , was relocated from the village of Aksai, 25 km to the east, to the hamlet of Krugljakow. On October 29, 1957, the Rajon was renamed Oktjabrski, and accordingly the district center in Oktjabrskoje, which has now grown together with the station settlement (from Russian oktjabr for "October", here with reference to the October Revolution of 1917).

In 1959 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
