Bikin

Emerged as a Cossack village Bikin Bikin stanitsa district of the Ussuri Cossack Army, has gained special importance in 1894-1897 during the construction of the railway line between Khabarovsk and Vladivostok.

The appearance of this settlement is associated with the construction of the northern section of the Ussuriisk Railroad in 1895. The first inhabitants were the station builders, freelance workers who arrived at the relocation, and demobilized soldiers. Further growth of the settlement was due to people from neighboring stanitsa and villages, who moved closer to the railroad. In 1907 Transbaikal Cossacks moved to Bikin. Subsequently there was no mass resettlement to Bikin.

In the 1920s there were two schools in Bikin: a school of the stanitsa district and a two-class railway school. In 1938, a forestry school was opened, where fireman, lumberman, chauffeur, and carpenter were trained.

In 1933, work began on the construction of a second line of railroad tracks in Bikin.

By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR on November 9, 1938 it was given the status of a city.

In 1939 in Bikin opened a meat processing plant, and later a meat and dairy plant.

In 2002, a city hospital was opened in Bikin.
