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.[1]
In 1933, the working settlement of Iskitim was formed, and the following year the cement plant was built.[2][3]
In 1938, Iskitim received city status.[2]
