Ishim (Russian: Иши́м) is a town in the south of Tyumen Oblast, Russia. Population: 65,243 (2010 Census);[3] 67,757 (2002 Census);[6] 66,373 (1989 Census).[7]

History

It was founded in 1670 as the village of Korkina Sloboda. In 1721, by the order of Tsar Peter the Great the village gained the right to establish Nikolskaya Trade Fair which rapidly became one of the most important trade fairs in Siberia. This trade fair had place twice a year on the Saint Nicholas day until 1919. In 1782, by the order of Empress Catherine the Great, Korkina Sloboda was renamed Ishim and was granted town status. In 1918, Ishim became the administrative center of Ishimsky Uyezd. In 1984, the city began a sister city relationship with Grand Forks, North Dakota in the United States. This relationship terminated in the late 1990s due to economic turmoil in Ishim.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Ishim serves as the administrative center of Ishimsky District, even though it is not a part of it.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town of Ishim—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Ishim is incorporated as Ishim Urban Okrug.[2]

Transportation

Ishim is currently designated the eastern terminus of European route E22, a road route crossing Russia, Latvia, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
