In 1915 the railway line Novonikolajewsk (now Novosibirsk ) - Barnaul - Semipalatinsk, part of the later Turksib , was opened by Rubzowsk, which brought with it an initial economic boom.

In 1927, the town was given town charter while it was renamed Rubzowsk.

During the years of the Great Patriotic War , an agricultural machine plant from Odessa and the Kharkov tractor plant were relocated to Rubtsovsk. As a result, the Altaiski Traktorny Zavod came into being and the number of inhabitants of the city multiplied.

In Rubzowsk there was a prisoner of war camp 511 for German prisoners of war of the Second World War .
