In connection with the construction of the Novonikolajewsk – Barnaul– Semipalatinsk railway - later part of the Turkestan-Siberian Railway - from 1913 a railway station of the same name was built in the current center of the village, which was officially opened on November 3, 1915 with the entire line. 1914 is given as the year of foundation for the settlement created at the station, which was also called Schipunowo.

As part of the administrative reorganization in the Soviet period, Schipunowo became the administrative center of a newly founded Rajon on May 27, 1924. In 1969 the status of urban-type settlement was given.

Since 1991, Schipunowo has been a "rural settlement" again, like a number of comparable localities in the region with an agricultural orientation, despite the growing population.
