history

The place was founded in 1777 as the fortress Alexandrowskaya of the Azov - Mozdok defense line, which ran along the southern border of the Russian Empire to the Caucasus, whereby the name referred to the later canonized prince and Russian national hero of the 13th century Alexander Nevsky . In 1785 the fortress was elevated to the status of a city and, under the name of Alexandrowsk, the administrative center of one of the five Ujesde of the Caucasus governorate .

With the founding of the southern city of Pyatigorsk in 1830, Alexandrowsk lost its importance, was replaced as a Ujesd administrative center and a little later converted into a Cossack stanitsa under the name Alexandrowskaya . After a Cossack revolt in 1859–1860, the stanitsa was converted into a Selo with the current name by ukase from Tsar Alexander II on December 30, 1869, making the Cossacks of the village "simple" farmers. With the spin-off of the Terek Governorate in 1860, to which Pyatigorsk was also assigned, Alexandrowskoje took over the function of a Ujesdzentrum of the administrative unit, which had since been renamed the Stavropol Governorate (1847) .

As part of an administrative reform, Alexandrowskoje became the administrative center of a Rajons in 1924. During the Second World War , Alexandrowskoye was captured by the German Wehrmacht in mid-August 1942 and recaptured by the Red Army in mid-January 1943 during the North Caucasian operation .
