Kubinka () is a town in Odintsovsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Setun River, west of Moscow. Population: __TOC__
==History== Kubinka, founded in the 15th century, may have been named after Prince , a prominent local land-owner who died in 1546. It grew in importance in the second half of the 19th century when the Moscow-Smolensk railway passed through the area. The construction of the Moscow-Smolensk Railway in 1870 transformed the village into a transport hub. The railway allowed for the rapid movement of goods and people, leading to the growth of local industry and the establishment of the town as a "dacha" (summer home) destination for Moscow's elite.
