history

The place was founded in 1902 by Cossacks from the Stanitsa Nizhneosjornaja of the Orenburg governorate (today the village of Nizneosjornoje of the Orenburg Oblast ) under the name of Krasny Yar . In 1904 or 1906 he received the name Agapowski as a settlement (possjolok) , after the organizer of the resettlement Pavel Agapow (1862 – after 1922), later lieutenant general and 1910–1917 head of the Cossack department at the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army .

On January 18, 1935, the place came as a settlement Agapowo to the newly formed Agapowski rajon, whose administrative seat was initially in the settlement Magnitny (formerly Stanitsa Magnitnaja, the parts not flooded by the Urals reservoir there today belong to Magnitogorsk). On November 23, 1940 the administration was finally transferred to Agapowo. After the interim dissolution of the Rajon on October 12, 1959, it was re-established on August 22, 1961, with the administrative seat in the place now called Agapowka with the status of a village (selo).
