History

Horn was located 7 kilometers southeast of the railroad station at Gmelinskaya. It was not an official daughter colony, but a khutor (farmstead), founded by Lutheran colonists.  Following the collectivization of the early Soviet era, it became the center of a large Collective Farm (No. 982).
