Jost was founded in 1895 in the Omsk Region of Siberia by Volga German families relocating from the colony of Jost. In 1895-1896, about 45 families settled there.
The village also used its Russian name of Popovka, the same Russian name that the Volga German colony of Jost had.
In 1899, a grain storage facility with a capacity of 3,000 pounds of grain was constructed in Jost.
A school house was also built in the village that served as a prayer house for worship services. In 1907, a separate church building was constructed.
Many refugees arrived in the village during the years of war and revolution.
In 1929, a collective farm called "Stalin" was organized in the village. In 1934, a mechanical mill was built along with a forge and carpentry and saddlery workshops.
