Its history is closely connected with the history of theCaucasian Warand establishment of a special strategic defense line on the Bolshaya Laba River. Thestanitsawas originally one of the fortresses that were founded along the southern border of the Russian Empire neighboring the Caucasus mountains and were protected by theDon Cossackswho eventually became the first settlers of Labinskaya. Later, many peasants belonging to the Cossack social class, both Russians and Ukrainians, moved to Labinskaya from the inner territories of Russia. With a population over 30,000 people, Labinskaya soon became a big trade center among the neighboringstanitsasowing to its favorable location in the river valley.

In 1913, a railway station was built in Labinskaya that integrated it in the railway system of the Russian Empire.

From August 1942 to January 1943, Labinskaya was occupied by theGermans.The residents were resisting the enemy—Labinsk Fighter Squadron was established in thestanitsawith Ivan Konstantinov appointed as the Commander-in-Chief.

In the post-war years, Labinskaya was quickly rebuilt and renovated. In 1947, thestanitsawas granted town status and renamed Labinsk.
