Omsk was founded in 1716. In spring of 1716, the guardsman of Peter the Great I.Buchholz and his detachment made a landing on the shore of the free Irtish, in the place where this powerful Siberian river meets the Om River. According to the edict of the tsar Peter the Great and his deputy in Siberia prince Gagarin, pioneers erected here the fortification to guard the south Russian borders. Thus was founded the town, which in our days became one of the largest industrial and cultural centers of Siberia. It is a large industrial, educational and cultural center with population over one million. In the 50s of the 20th century Omsk became an important oil-processing city.
