History

In 1717, four villages were documented on the site of the future city: Koinovo, Shipunovo, Chernodyrovo and Vylkovo.[2]

In 1929, deposits of limestone and shale were found in this place, after which a special commission determined the site for the construction of a cement plant.

In 1933, the working settlement of Iskitim was formed, and the following year the cement plant was built.[3] [4]

In 1938, Iskitim received city status.

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Iskitim serves as the administrative center of Iskitimsky District, even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town of Iskitim—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, the Town of Iskitim is incorporated as Iskitim Urban Okrug.[5]

Demographics and crime

A large proportion of local population consists of Romani people. The town is also a notorious center of drug trafficking in Siberia.[6]

For example, on February 14, 2005, about 10 houses were set on fire. In 2005, a gang of arsonists was caught. However, after their arrest, the arsons of Roma houses continued for some time.[7] [8]
