Located on the Uk River 18 km east of Zavodoukovsk and 100 km southeast of Tyumen .

2 km south of the village passes the P402 highway (Tyumen - Omsk ). Nearest train station the station is located in Novaya Zaimka (5 km to the southeast, on the Tyumen - Omsk line).

Old Zaimka was formed between 1758-1770 and its first population was 319 people who were resettled from different villages of the Rafailovskoye patrimony.

In 1787, the population was 327 people who lived in 52 courtyards.

At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a chapel in the village in the name of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, but divine services were held there only during Lent, and all the rites were held in New Zaimka . The population was mainly engaged in cultivation, there was a department of an oil factory from New Zaimka. There were many skilled people in the village, pimokats, woolcoats, stove-makers, tinsmiths who tinned and soldered the dishes. The girls were engaged in needlework, crocheted tablecloths, stitches for tabletops and lace, spun wool and linen.

In 1910, on the Uk River, the Starozaytsy held 2 flour mills, one of which belonged to Yakov Martynovich Irg, and the other to Viktor Evgenievich Lytkin. For better cultivation of the land at the beginning of the 20th century, the villagers began to purchase agricultural implements and machines. By 1910, the village had 9 simple reapers, 1 reaper, 9 threshers, 12 winders, 1 sorting, 4 mowers, 5 horse rakes and 6 plows.

The village has several memorial sites associated with the civil war. In the fall of 1919, the 459th regiment of the 51st division fought in the area. The headquarters of the regiment was located in house 3. Kazantseva, from where the fortifications were visible on the right bank of the river Uk. Trenches and trenches are well preserved to this day. They defended the roads to the villages of Tumashevo, Sosnovka, Markovo, as well as approaches to the railway. To the left of the road to Tumashevo, in a 900-meter plot, 133 trenches were discovered. They are connected by trenches 30-50 meters long. To the right - 155 trenches, the remains of nine dugouts are visible behind them. The fortifications along the road to Sosnovka, in the direction of Markovo, and in the direction of the railway, have been preserved. In the forest across the river, near the road to Tumashevo, a monument was erected on the grave of the fallen Red Army soldiers.

At the end of 1919, Soviet power was finally established and the Starozaimsky village council was formed in the Novozaimskaya volost of Yalutorovsk district .

According to the census of the Urals region in 1926, in the Old Zaimka there were 272 yards, in which 1245 people lived. In the future, with the conduct of collectivization, the number of inhabitants began to decrease.

On April 1, 1930, the Red October collective farm was formed. At the same time, pressure begins on the fists. For three weeks, from April 8 to 29, 1931, during the peak of the dispossession company, 176 out of 201 yards remained in the village, and 856 out of 963 residents. Over twenty people left Stara Zaimka within twenty days. Soon two more collective farms were organized: on May 1, 1931, the collective farm "True Way" appeared, then to them. Pushkin. The first chairman of the Red October commune, and later the collective farm of the same name, was Perfili Kalinin. Apparently, the collective farm "True Way" did not exist for very long, as the old-timers recall only the existence of two collective farms. Collective farmers took part of the harvest to a public mill.

At the end of 1931 in Staraya Zaimka there was its own reading room, where adults and teenagers liked to gather in the evenings. In addition to classes with illiterate, there were meetings, performances by amateur artists, loud readings.

In the spring of 1941, the dam and collective farm water mills washed off the flood (they were not restored until 1946, when several skilled healthy men came from the war).

The Great Patriotic War made adjustments to the life of the village. Germans evicted from the Volga region arrived here and took jobs instead of those who went to the front. In September 1941, the Krieger Rosa Filippovna family arrived in the village. They received them well, settled into the house along Clubnaya Street to Avdotya Kalinina. Rosa was assigned to school, but not knowing the Russian language, she did not go to school.

During the war years, a fairy tale kindergarten was opened in the village, but only in the mid-1970s a special stone building was built. After the war, the first-aid post, which exists today, opened its doors. In 1998, a new high school building was built. The former school was called (Starozaimskaya Eight Year School) in which there were 9 classes. From 1998 to 2006, there were 11 classes at the Starozaimskaya school, but from 2006 to the present day there were 9 classes. In 2004, the Skazka kindergarten was closed due to the emergency condition of the building (there was no money for major repairs), the building was demolished in 2015. In 2003, the farm building was closed. In 2012, the Sberbank branch stopped working, and in 2017 the post office closed. In 2018, a new playground appeared in the village.
