Rusajewka was founded in 1631 as the village of Urasajewka . In 1783 it was mentioned under its current name. After the construction of a railway line through the town in 1893 - a little later part of the original route of the Trans-Siberian Railway - and the expansion of the station into a railway junction, the development of what is now the second largest city in the republic began. Rusajewka first became a town in 1917, but became an urban-type settlement in 1925 , before the town charter was reassigned in 1937.
