History

Kubinka was founded in the 15th century and may have been named after Prince Ivan Kubensky, a prominent local land owner. It grew in importance in the second half of the 19th century when the Moscow-Smolensk railway passed through the area. The military test range for tanks was opened in 1931 and the military airbase opened soon afterwards. Town status granted to Kubinka in 2004.

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with twenty-three rural localities, incorporated within Odintsovsky District as the Town of Kubinka.[1] As a municipal division, the Town of Kubinka is incorporated within Odintsovsky Municipal District as Kubinka Urban Settlement.[5]

Kubinka was the location of the Soviet Union's tank proving grounds, and today is the home of the Kubinka Tank Museum. It is also the location of the MAPO aircraft Maintenance Factory #121 and the Kubinka air base.

Tank museum[12] is located near the city. One of its most notable exponents is Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus which is the only one in the world. This museum is also a home to a few unique and experimental armoured vehicles.
