 city, district center

Town in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, located on the Bachat River 170 kilometers (110 mi) south of Kemerovo. Population: 76,764 (2010 Census).
The village of Belovo for the first time is mentioned in 1726. It was named after a fugitive peasant Fyodor Belov, who built a small taiga house, a so-called zaimka, on the bank of the Bachat River. The year of 1855 was a new page in the history of settlement: the mining of mineral resources on the found coal field began. In 1938, Belovo was granted town status. The town developed as a conglomeration of departmental settlements, whose population was directly or indirectly involved with the coal mines, a power station, and the railway.
