history

Topki was created in 1914 when the railway lines from Jurga to Kolchugino (now Leninsk-Kuznetsky) and Kemerovo were built. The name is derived from a designation for swamps or generally places where you can sink into the regional dialect of Russian (cf. топкий = swampy, swampy). In 1929 the area around the train station became an urban-type settlement , and in 1933 it was granted city rights. At first the city was part of the Rajon, since 1963 it is directly subordinate to the Oblast.
